the hay the cows don’t eat gets spread out in their pen and acts as the carbon, over several months it becomes several feet deep – a haven for nematodes, worms, microbes and fungi to help keep pathogens away and to start composting everything under the animal’s feet.

Question by phillykev: I found a tiny red worm on my bed. Does anyone know what it is?
I found a tiny worm on my bed. It appears to be a reddish color. I have no idea what it is. I never saw anything like that before. I do not have any pets and have no idea where it came from. After stripping down the sheets, I did not find any more. Does anyone know what it is? Is it harmful? How do I make sure that there are not anymore? Thanks.
Pol, good answer. That’s pretty funny.

Ellie, thanks for the information. I don’t think that is the problem though. The one I saw was definitely red and I don’t have any symptoms of a parasite. However, I do appreciate the information.

Robin, I didn’t get a long enough look at the worm. I was thinking far enough ahead to consider identifying and got it rid of it rather quick. It was predominantly red though. I noticed somewhere people suggesting it may be larvae from a clothes moth or carpet beetle. I think you may be onto something there. Was there anything you did to get rid of them and make sure they don’t return?
