I have also found only one or two in my plant saucers, but with lots of finely ground soil. I was told the soil was worm castings and not knowing any better, I assumed that was the type of worm creating that lovely fertilizer. #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Mmmm so are they bad for the plant? ### Experimental님이 2024-01-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’ve found those coming out the bottom of my heart leaf brasil. There were also live centipedes. I sprayed with Neem oil and that seemed to work. #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Oh dang, I haven’t seen any live ones. Maybe they are all buried. I tried dish soap in the water but didn’t seem to do the trick. #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Kinda looks like a wireworm? What do you think? #### Experimental님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Google said centipede🤷🏽‍♂️and that they weren’t harmful to plants. All I know is that I don’t want them anywhere in my home so… #### Avalon님이 2024-01-31에 답변했습니다. Ahhhhh that might be it. A millipede or centipede…..😂 ### SueB님이 2024-01-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Gnat larvae is very tiny. So these aren’t them. #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Mmmm weird. So this isn’t a common pest then? #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Kinda looks like a wireworm? What do you think? ### Women are Water님이 2024-01-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. No ma’am. They’d be tiny. These look like some sort of caterpillars #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Ya and I am confused because it started in one plant and now it’s in another plant that is on the opposite side of the room…..sooo how did it spread? 😂 #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Kinda looks like a wireworm? What do you think? #### Women are Water님이 2024-01-31에 답변했습니다. I wonder it was in the soil already. Wouldn’t be unheard of. Especially if the came from the same place. Or if a pest came in and layer some eggs. I don’t know but it has to go! 😂 ### Mya님이 2024-01-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Gnats are small. These look like caterpillars as Women are Water had mentioned #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. I don’t see any living caterpillars … why are they all dying? 😂 #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Kinda looks like a wireworm? What do you think? ### Haks님이 2024-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. They look like grubs where did they come from #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. No idea where they came from but it was only in one plant…now they spread to another plant across the room. The plant seems healthy tho? I just don’t want it to spread more. Can you treat a plant the same for all pests? Like soapy water or neem? #### Avalon님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Kinda looks like a wireworm? What do you think? ### Shirley🪴you jest님이 2024-01-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. Does anyone think that is what is creating the fine granular soil under some pots? Or something else? I found one deceased worm like the one in Avalon’s photo months ago. I was told they are worm castings, but have not seen any earthworms… Looking for certain confirmation regarding what is creating this please. Thank you 🪴 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/UXWbN3kFcbJ4RE9QlwEUBV0D54aab3W65xgQ8zaAuiM/qCWTWQuGRau5xKkdl26QOg.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
