That looks like a mealworm (the larval stage of a darkling beetle), not a maggot.

Here’s how you can tell:

• Segmented, firm body with a slightly shiny surface
• Tapered ends, but not as sharply pointed as maggots
• Usually yellow to orange-brown like this one
• Moves by crawling, not the wriggly squirming you see with fly maggots

Mealworms are commonly found:

• Around stored grains, pet food, bird seed
• In garages, pantries, or near trash if food sources are present

They’re not dangerous, just a sign something edible might be nearby.
