Re:creatures in bin - 2006/07/05 20:59 The noise you here is the worms hard at work. It's a good sound to hear. Other critters will find their way into your bin. Most are helpful to harmless, but there are a few you want to watch out for.

If I were to guess,(and that's all I can do), I might guess the creature was Black Soldier Fly larvae. Go check out...happydranch.com..and look at their "Invertebrate" page. If it is BSF's, they are the good guys and can eat massive amounts of "raw" organics. Susan Quinby-Honer
