Hi

I hope that someone can help me.

I have notice that some of my worms are being attacked by some bugs. They=
 looks
like dry cream


of wheat type of bug, but smaller.  I used a 10 power magnifying glass to=
 see
what they looked

like. They are alive and moving all over a few of the worms on top of the s=
oil.
You can tell where

a worm is because it is covered with these creatures. These things seam to =
be
eating the worms.

They either chew the worm in half or just eat parts of the worms. Either wa=
y the
worm is findley

covered with these bugs and they eat it. The surface of the tote is 24" x=
 18".
There are about six

worms that are covered with these bugs and are being eaten. Any ideas as to=
 what
they are and


how do I get rid of them.

Thank you
