I found these in the soil of my Pothos. Are there earth worms or larva? I don’t want to kill them if they’re good, however if they are bad and will kill my plants I would love to know!

I’ve had some bugs in my experience they usually like to hangout on the leaves and stem unless.. gnats they like the soil

I found one of these in one of my plants. I repotted it with new soil because I was afraid it was a nematode lol but I never figured out if it was. Mine looked just like yours so I’m curious if anyone knows for sure

Oh I will say this…. After repotting with different soil it started to look much better foliage wise
