These appear to be be pupae of a fly in the family Phoridae - http://www.diptera.info/images/photoalbum/album_36/2s_t2.jpg
Larvae (maggots) of phorids can develop very quickly in just about any accumulation of decomposing organic matter, and when they are mature, they crawl away in search of a dry place to pupate.
