Hello, this is my first time making compost and there are these big Brown worms that have somehow gotten into my compost bin. They look like big black caterpillars with grooves on them like large screws. At first it was just a few, now they have grown into a community. I'm scared to turn the compost over. I have it covered up so they won't get out and get me. Is this normal and if it's not what do I do to get rid of them? I don't wanna kill anybody but they are enormous and it's a lot of them. They look like snakes. I'm nervous. My Compost was doing so good but are they gonna ruin the compost I've been working on all summer? Please help. I'm a nature person and all but when the bugs outnumber me I feel threatened. Should I take the top off and let the sun and birds getum, what do I do? I mean at least that would help the food chain. Need insight. Thank you!
