Hi people. I'm in The Amazon jungle , and when i make compost here in The jungle ( climate is superhot and very wet) always appear these worms here in The compost . Before i was making compost in a valley with warm climate and i never saw these worms.



Whats these worms in compost ? Are they good?

I have seen very similar creatures in my garden, especially around pine leaves, in very large quantity, and I am in a cold temperate climate. I believe they are some kind of larva but am not sure of the species, genus or family.

Looks like black soldier fly larvae. They are good reducers of the material. They don't produce castings like worms but I like having them in our compost piles.

I think there are some mixed opinions on them. I put a shovel full in with the chickens for them to eat, every now and again when they are thick in the compost.

"native to the neotropical realm"--definitely a possibility!
