It seems widely claimed that σκώληξ is specifically a "fly maggot". Is that actually true or just a well-meaning but ignorant assertion.ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ, καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται.
It seems to be a wholesale borrowing / superimposition of the meaning of εὐλή onto σκώληξ, which LSJ is not so specific and that it is common to introduce worms into compost heaps to help in the break down of various forms of waste.
In regard to the comment in the definitions volume of L&N 4.57 (page 47) "intestinal worms" are ἕλμινς, -ινθος, ἡ (cf. ἑλμινθιᾶν, "suffer from worms"), and "maggots" (meat-eating), are more generally εὐλή, while σκώληξ is a more general word considering / taking into account the creatures' shape / movement patterns rather than their diet (cf. σκωληκίζειν, "wriggle like a worm"). Extra to their three types of worms, we could also mention a fourth ἴψ "wood worm" (mentioned as being in vines), (cf. τερηδών "wood worm", and other type of grubs that destroy things).
Further words about worms can be found here in the LSJ search. Perhaps ἀσκαρίς is a specific type of intestinal worm.
