Doesn't seem like these are tagged with any consistency. Would probably be better to alias both grub and maggot to larva.
considering both wikipedia( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grub#Noun ) in regards to grub and the wiki to maggot here consider them synonymous to larva i tend towards a +1 but grub does often also get used in place of food to describe things edible.

Better not:
I) Grub and maggot are specific kinds of larva.
I a) Grubs have easily distiguishable head
and legs, but maggots haven't.
I b) Maggots are commonly related to parasitism and putrefaction, but grubs aren't.
II) The tag counting is currently low (<100 for each) so we can easily do the necessary cleaning.

The term 'grub' is sometimes used as a synonym of 'larva', but they actually don't mean the same; also this usage isn't common either.
If you show to someone a photography of a monarch caterpillar and either ask if it is a larva or ask if it is a grub, you probaly will get distinct answers.
The 'maggot' wiki says that maggot is a larva (what is true), but does not say the terms are synonyms. If I say "scarab is a beetle" I am not saying that 'scarab' and 'beetle' are synonyms.
