What are these segmented creatures

14 years ago

IÂm trying to figure out what these things are in my worm farm. This is a new adventure for me and the farm has only been running for two months. These guys seem to be doing a good job but IÂm afraid about what they will turn into next. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

They are Black Soldier Fly Larvae. As long as their population is kept under control, They will not harm your worm bin.
