I opened my compost bin today to find hundreds of these guys crawling around in the compost. I’m curious as to what they are.

    My guess would be soldier fly larva and not grubs (beetle larva). Grubs tend to want moist roots, not rotting stuff. Leave em there, they will help with the decomposition

      They definitely look like soldier fly larvae. Thanks friend! :)

      If only I had some chickens to feed them to…
