Termites are everywhere. Part of mother nature's little workforce turning dead wood into compost. There was probably some wood mulch in your compost that they are feeding on.

I probably wouldn't put that compost up against a wood house, fence, or firewood though.

Thanks for the info - I went back out and noticed that all the little bugs seemed to be being attacked by ants - guess I will turn the soil several times over the next few weeks and see what happens :)

There was a PBS show on termites in some country in Africa. They were in someone's home and eating the walls and roof. There was an older man who knew of a kind of ant who could get rid of the termites. They looked like fire ants only bigger and he said they were dangerous because they could go inside a person or animal and start eating it from the inside (that would be gross) but he knew how to talk to them. So he and a couple of boys went out to find these ants and they dumped a bag full into the termite caverns in the house. The ants really went after the termites even though the termites were bigger. It was both gross and interesting.
