They look like soldier fly larvae which do a great job breaking down waste. |

Looks like soldier fly larvae. Those flies like compost and are beneficial, but I don't know what, if anything, will happen about the worms. They may simply coexist peacefully. I follow Big Tex Worms (https://twitter.com/#!/bigtexworms) on Twitter, and sent her the question. I'll post an answer if she replies. http://www.ent.iastate.edu/clinic/node/52 |
