Good heavens! Maggots don't get sucked onto bones.

M's 如蛆附骨指像蛆一樣吸食屍骨的養分 means that maggots *feed on corpses*, not that they are *sucked onto bones*.
(Note that LA@屍骨 says 指屍體, so it's not necessarily "skeleton" as cedict says.)
Diff:
- 如蛆附骨 如蛆附骨 [ru2 qu1 fu4 gu3] /lit. like a maggot sucked onto the bone (idiom)/fig. fixed on sth/to cling on without letting go/to pester obstinately/
+ 如蛆附骨 如蛆附骨 [ru2 qu1 fu4 gu3] /lit. like maggots feeding on a corpse (idiom)/fig. fixed on sth/to cling on without letting go/to pester obstinately/
