Grubs in my worm bin

[Vegan4life]

Hello all, I just harvested some worm castings from my composting worm bin. I have noticed grubs in with the castings. Maybe beetle larva ? Castings are probably a little moister than they should be, maybe that is what is causing them to be there. Bin is sealed so not sure how they got in??? Can anyone identify? I rinsed them off so they would be easier to see.

Good bait! No idea but fish love them on a hook!

looks like fly larvae. organic material has all kinds of eggs and stuff on it so for my indoor bins i freeze any material i’m gonna add to my worm bin for a week minimum

look like black horned beetle there are numerous kinds some like wood some like manure others just live in moist soil I find them all the time in my compost bin , they do not hurt anything but like Stone Otter said they make great fishing bait or just crush um up and the worms will turn them into compost,
