No, no really their body is a larger at one end and fleshy with a dark
internal mass. Actually they are reducing in numbers. I don't know if the
Flubenol is eventually killing them or if they have hatch? Maybe they need a
host of some sort that not available to them and they are just dying.

I've never seen anything like them before - but they just look to me like
some form of larvae.
