Bug infestation in compost - cannot tell what it is!

6 years ago

We have 2 potential infestations, and I am trying to identify what they are and what to do about it.


The first ones are the small red bugs (mites?) in the pic below. It seems like we have A LOT of them. Is this an issue?


The second one is hard to describe. They are small flies, but don't look like fruit flies or other kinds I have seen. The weirdest thing is that they attach to each other at the end of their abdomen (facing away from each other) into a longer line, and can walk/fly like that. They keep getting out of our compost - we probably have 50+ of them on the walls of our apartment each day.
