Turning the compost bins
And you never know what critters you'll find when you turn the pile. You always find bugs like pincher bugs or some kind of larvae in the pile. That is normal and they help break things down. This time around I actually found some kind of newt in the pile. He must love the moisture and probably hunts down some of those bugs. It is a good sign when there are living things in the pile. It should be a healthy ecosystem of rotting and composting material that many things contribute to and benefit from.
