Are these 2 different types of worm coccoons?

15 years ago

Hi, got a question. I was digging thru my worm bin collecting the casting and separating out the worm coccoons and I came across two different shapes. What I understood to be red worm coccoons that look like very small popcorn kernal type, like a dull varnish translucent color, and then I had these much rounder and larger milky white ones. What are these milky white ones?

no there aren't 2 different, the white ones are from some bug that's one of the many critters of the decomposer community
