ultra thin orange worm like pests harboring in split areas of carrots

[firefly]

Hi,

I dug up some carrots yesterday and noticed that a few had spit - most prob due to inconsistent watering over dry spell - but inside the carrots where the split had occurred i eventually noticed that there were minutely ultra thin orange worm like creatures living. they are about 1/2 millimeter in diameter, though 1 1/2 inch long.

These creatures are far far thinner than millipedes & are definitely not wireworms either as again far far to thin and long.

Does anyone know of what these are?

i'll get an image hopefully soon of them. Though ideally would like to know how best to nullify them once I can establish what they are, though cant find anything on the net to identify them.

thanks advance.

probably only orange because of their recent diet . Stick some pics up when you can and we'll surely find someone who can identify them

Are they fast moving, wiggly? Like baby centipedes?

Extremely wiggly & wiggle very fast.

Put it this way they like both my early nante 3 & chantenay red cored. Hopefully they'll stay well clear of my parsnips

Thinking about it they could actually be baby centipedes. I get quite a few centi's on my plot.

I'll try to get some photos when i'm at the allotment next weekend.

That's good then, they are carnivorous, and eat the things that eat your veg
