I just planted a lettuce mix and some parsley in a large pot about 5 days ago. My lettuce is already sprouting and seems to be in very good health. I've been volunteering at a new local organic garden shop, so I know everything I am doing is correct and everything I've used is top-notch..however, to my dismay, the shop is closed for a week and with my luck, this is when I discover worms I do not recognize. I don't know anything about pests!!

The worms have multiple tiny legs, the bodies are slightly translucent (to where you can see a black/brownish tint in their rear-end), have long antennae, curl up when disturbed, and only come out at night. I've attached some photos, so hopefully one of you can help me identify! I really hope these are good guys. :/


thanks!
