Mystery...larvae?

[carriej]

You think? I wish I had a good camera. I have pods but they are quite small - these guys are big. Where did they all come from? I check every night with a flash light and never see anything like that. Plus they were out before my lights went out. I could see them all swarming from about 10 feet away and went to investigate.

EDIT: I should mention their body is curved, like a C shape. Very bizarre. I want to know why no one wants to eat them!
