WORM BIN CREATURE - GOOD AND BAD

Besides worms, many creatures will start to populate the worm bin naturally. All the photos are taken off the internet. I don't have a macro camera :(

Good (helps worm break down decaying material)
  1. Millipede

  2. Sow bug or wood lice



  3. Ear wigs - looks harmful but they are not


  4. Mold and fungi (white is good, black is bad)


  5. Soldier fly larvae - Helps break the material but I always have doubt if its thick "fur" irritates my worm. LoL


  6. Unknown small cone snail - but i find them able to eat all the food scrap faster then anything else




Bad (harmful!)

  1. Red Mites - they are predator

  2. Centipede - they eat worms. Poisonous to humans too.


  3. Slug - they eat worms like spaghetti

  4. Flat worm - looks can be deceiving. They swallow worms whole!



Not sure
  1. Spring Tail - My bin was once infested by PINK spring tail and 90% of the worm died.
