      Midget Fly Larvae?

      Found these wiggly worm like things, but looks like they would molt as well? Are they harmful? Does Dimilin-X work because they need to molt?

      Thanks.

      Good fish food surely?

      Net, with an aquarium net, and tip them into fish pond.

      Don't worry the fish will molt them.

      The bats pick them off, flying around your out side lights.

      I am not sure if these are the same larvae that I had that would attach to the inside of the bottom drain piping clogging the pipes requiring me to run a line through the pipes with a cotton mop head to clean them out but I seem to remember not having that problem after using dimilin.

      Keep your words sweet. You never know when you may have to eat them.
