Do they look like termite larvae?

I agree, looks ground termites.. is this from the ground up, or sitting on top of the hay only? Initially i thought it looked like peacock poop!!

Interesting, there is a massive infestation of Bermuda grass (which is used for hay) stem maggots in the south, especially Georgia. I wonder if they are eggs that are just hatching. https://extension.uga.edu/publicati...1484&title=Managing Bermudagrass Stem Maggots

If that is the case, it would only hurt you if you're growing hay yourself I'd think.
