Can anyone help me to recognize this type of species? Is it a clustered worms or clustered larvae? Location is in Bali, Indonesia. Recently this species is goes viral, but people here always link this species to a myth.
Thanks.

These are larvae of the so called fungus gnat of the order Diptera. Fungus gnats are small flying insects that look sort of like mosquitoes but they don’t bite. In fact, adult fungus gnats live only about 7-10 days and do not feed. It is the immature larval form that can cause damage to your plants.

I see, i'm Balinese too, you know everything things were rare are linked to myth.
