Composters?
I think these are soldier fly larva, or wasp mimics, but I'm not 100% are they helping me with the process? Usually before summer I totally strip the chicken and turkey coup throw it in a large pile with a lot of ditch weeds (dandelions, pokeweed, wild lettuce, nettle, garden trimming etc) throw in a few handfuls of alfalfa pellets and azomite and water it down with molasses water. Well last night we got a lot of unexpected rain fall and the pile wasn't covered. I went to turn it today and it was steaming hot, sweet smelling and full of these little grubs/maggots. They're roughly the size of a Tylenol capsule {===========} (<---about that long) are these unsightly creatures composting????
