white worms

Grubs in soil

White worms are small, pale larvae or worms found in various contexts.

In households, they often appear as maggots in spoiled food or as pantry moth larvae in grains.

In gardening, they may be root-eating grubs.

White worms also refers to *Enchytraeus*, tiny segmented worms cultivated as fish food: I raise white worms for my tropical fish.
