My tomato plant has these white worms in it.. sorry if this sounds dumb but i am sorta new to planting here and they aren't brownish red like earth worms are however the plant seems to be doing just fabulous (compared to the other 5 i bought this year).
But they sorta look like maggots which is what i am real afraid of! They are white and maybe a inch long... anyone know if there is any other kind of worm like this that id actually good for the soil?This thread is currently associated with: N/A

Does it curl into a C when you touch it.If it does then it's a grubworm and eats roots.

By 'in it', you mean on the leaves? I would have to agree with the previous post 'kill them'. There was one time I killed a couple good bugs, but I think good bugs are few and far between. I saw a couple freaky looking guys on my jalapeno plant last year, I picked off the leaves they were on and threw them off the balcony, but luckily a friend told me they were lady bug larvae before I killed them all. I already had an aphid problem, so I guess some ladybug mom decided to lay her eggs on my plant. The rest of the summer was weird, I still had ladybugs and aphids, but for some reason wasps thought my jalapeno plant was party central. I counted at least 15 at a time on that one potted plant, and they didn't hang out on the others at all. Anyway I'm getting a bit off topic, but if you ever see these guys they are your friend, only there to eat other pests.
