I already checked into how to separate isopods from the non-worm compost for exactly that reason. It seems easy enough. In the worm bin, I've noticed they tend to loiter near the surface; they aren't really found in the casts. I'm wondering if simply crumbling the stuff while applying to spot and pick out the odd stray will be sufficient. Alternatively, I might try a quick dunk to send them running for fear of drowning. I could try the spread and sun dry approach that's supposed to work with regular compost, but isn't it bad to let your vermicompost dry out?

Hi, they look like cabbage worms (but could be rose slugs too). I would try BT on the leaves. You can get it premixed in a hand sprayer or a concentrated formula that you mix yourself and pour into a spray bottle. Spray it on the leaves every 2 weeks (or right after a rain). It's toxic to any caterpillars or worms that are eating the leaves and leaves everything else alone. I use it to keep skeletonizers off my grape vines and it works great.

Blonde elk are unusual but do exist. They have ruffs around the neck. Albino moose are getting more common in the northern states. Adolescent moose have disporportionately long front legs until they grow into them.

@rosecanadian me too. I hate snakes so it defintiely would have done its job and scared me off 😂 Pretty awesome though.
