Hi can anyone help me identify these grubs. I’ve just finished lifting my Kohlrabi and the roots are covered with hundreds of tiny grubs. They are not maggots so not cabbage root fly, they have six legs and antennae. Only 1mm long (very very small). See pic taken with eye glass magnifier

    Springtails, probably.  Mostly harmless unless present in great numbers.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thanks Bob. I had never heard of them. But you’re definitely right. So glad I can relax now!
