What an interesting critter. There’s TONS of 1″ long grubs in my current active pile, but there were none to be found in my finished compost pile… or so I thought.
I found two of these guys… they’re closer to 1.5″ and have nearly transparent rear ends. The orange heads are pretty trippy.
Are they good or bad?
I don’t really care. Compost piles are ecosystems and they’re clearly eating the decaying organic matter in there… nothing wrong with that.
