I decided to flush my soil cause of some leaf damage. After the thorough watering, tons of wormlike caterpillars rose to the top of the soil. The caterpillars have clear skin and a dark interior with two antennas on the front of their heads. I wasn't sure if they were good or bad for the soil, so I removed them. I was wondering if they may be the reason for the browing of some leaves? I also saw a few small roundish bugs. The trees seemed to have liked the watering. Thanks

BUMP

Have any of you had these caterpillars? I'm trying to find out why they are there. Thanks

They could be maggots. If you have pics perhaps we could help.
