Screw maggot

Screw maggots were a species of scavengers who lived in the jungles on the planet of Haruun Kal. In 22 BBY,The Essential Reader's Companion the Jedi Master Mace Windu came to the planet to investigate a hologram depicting a slaughtered group of jungle prospectors and a recording that connected his former Padawan, a Chalactan woman named Depa Billaba, to their deaths. Windu later learned that Billaba had worked with Korun leader Kar Vastor to stage the scene so that Windu would come to the planet looking for her.
The Jedi wrote in his journal wondering what kind of man could convince his followers to leave the bodies of civilians, especially the women and children, to be consumed by the likes of screw maggots and other scavengers such as jacunas and carrion flies. He found the idea revolting and quickly moved on in his thoughts.
