    Maggots, aka larva of whatever flying thing thinks your compost looks like a good hatching ground. Probably flies. All part of the circle of life. They’re processing things for you.

    Black soldier fly larvae. Good guys. Incredibly efficient composters!

    They like it wet, so if you don’t want them there, add a lot more shredded cardboard and make it never has visible liquid in there.

    They’re black soldier fly larvae. Will consume almost almost anything in a very short time. When there is enough of them in my tumbler I will give them any meat scraps, gone within a day. Chooks go nuts over them.

    These are definitely Black Soldier Fly Larvae
