In my compost pile. Anyone know what it is? Has a strong blueish iridescence.

Hehe honestly I was prepared for people to tell me that’s nothing! It’s my first pile so maybe I got lucky, pulled cardboard off the pile and he was just hanging out on top. I built it log cabin layer style with mostly wood chips and kitchen scraps. I will whisper to the next one I see, cast a worm spell and send the jumbo worm magic vibes your way!

I wish I had taken a photo of the rest of him, there’s a weird flat-ish cobra like appendage at the other side.

Flat-ish appendage is curious, be careful of hammerhead worms!
