I would like to know what this is, and if I should leave them alone or remove them.
If they are on the "healthy snack list" for garden helpers I should spare them.
Thanks, Christie

Is it a grub of some kind?

I looked around for it - just guessing that it's a moth larva, and the "boogers" are frass.

I am from Belgium; I don't even know what a frass is...

frass = insect excrement or debris

Thank you so much Claypa!
I will leave the bug alone than.
