What are these evil creatures killing my dahlias?

I've been growing dahlias for 5+ years and have been very fortunate. Well my luck has changed and I now and losing dahlias. The leaves start wilting and will turn a lost greyish, then brown and die. When I dig up the bulb it has rotted (not sure they is the right way to describe it). Tonight I decided to dog up on that seems early in the process of dying and the bulb is being eaten why teeny, tiny white worms. Are these little jerks the cause? Some of the bulbs were newly purchased this year (chimacum nadjaes that I was so excited about trying) and another was a Labyrinth that I overwintered. So far I have lost 4 and there are about 4 more that look sickly. Any ideas? Help? Sympathy?

Here are a few pics.

Any and all wisdom will be greatly appreciated.
