TLDR: should I keep this compost or throw it out?
We had a run of the mill compost spinner we have been adding scraps to for about 1-2 years. My mother in law has been the one applying it to the vegetable garden and she’s the knowledgeable one. Sadly she has passed and seemingly simultaneously the spinner axle broke. I removed all the stuff into a wheel barrow and am seeking a new receptacle. But I noticed what might be grubs—and I wanted to learn if what you see in this gross video is what you want in a compost bin. Keep it or toss it?

Looks like black soldier fly larvae. Very good because they eat basically anything, and quickly! Only downside is they don’t leave that much waste (compost) as they’re efficient at turning waste into biomass. I hear that if you have chickens they make great food for them!
