I'm thinking fly eggs (aka soon to be maggots)
I hope not. No flies in the room I keep them in. I scooped them out last night.
probably mold
Mine has the same things. Older man told me to flush them out with water. Some kind of bugs that was not good for the worms.. I found that sprinkling cornmeal on top of my beds. Then cover that with news paper. Then wet that down, the worms grow fast and will clean all the food up by the next day. Went from 36 worms last summer. To now working on three beds and have more worms than I can fish with. But hope the grand kids help me thin them out son.

How often do you do the cornmeal/paper process? Daily, weekly?? Tried one without much success, wanting to try again.Quote:

Worm chow, would have never guessed!
The wasp that you mentioned Tracker 123 is not a danger to you, just annoying. The larvae are a pain in the dingus but bluegill will eat them. .02
I guess you know what I'm talking about with the larvae cricket George. Pain is right, thing is, there were what appeared to be many hundreds in the small bed I had.
