white mites in with my worms

[mike dickson]

I am doing a small box for vermiculture and the soil is too moist. As
a result there is white mites or something like mites in with the
worms. Are these fruit flies? How do I get rid of them or are they
benificial?

They're beneficial. Put a little sliver of cheese in your bin and
watch the mites smother it. I know cheese is not usually recommended
and lots of people will say it smells but once the mites smothers it,
the cheese will disappear with no smells. Amazing little critters.
