White bugs in my worm bin
Should I be concerned?
Can't tell for sure (focus in photo isn't sharp), but these may be fungus gnats. They appear when there's a lot of moisture in the bottom layer of the worm habitat.
Drain the leachate, denying the gnats their moist habitat. Their numbers will diminish sharply.
If draining the leachate doesn't diminish the numbers of these insects, then I'm not sure what they are.
Good luck!
