I googled wireworm, centipede and millipede and I think from the photos it looks more like a millipede. The conditions also suit a millipede - as they like to live in decaying organic matter and I had put decaying grass clippings around my growing potatoes as a mulch. The internet says millipedes will tunnel into potatoes and some of my potatoes indicated this. Not 100% sure, but millipede seems top of the list so far.

I agree with Sue on the insects: definitely not worms, because they have legs and worms don't. Probably centipedes, I think.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-5280209028113935912012-09-18T11:36:48.197-07:002012-09-18T11:36:48.197-07:00Your bucket of potatoes is more than we got as bli...Your bucket of potatoes is more than we got as blight as did everyone else on our allotments so enjoy!Great harvest and all the colours make it look even better.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336168195436906219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-24127826779452525862012-09-18T10:49:11.449-07:002012-09-18T10:49:11.449-07:00What a delicious harvest you still have.

Beautiful not too big potatoes and than the beauty of the purple curly cale, very decorative in the garden. <br />In my little vegetable garden it's almost finished, still some red cales and salads and in the greenhouse still lots of tomatoes, but that's it. <br />According to me the insect is a centipede.Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-1590898257007999902012-09-18T08:29:50.077-07:002012-09-18T08:29:50.077-07:00I don't think it's centipedes eating your ...I don't think it's centipedes eating your potatoes. More likely curl grubs or wire worms - beetle larvae. I found mine were attacked more when they were under stress. They love heaps of manure.

These are insect eaters so won't harm your potatoes. Millipedes are vegetarian and centipededs are carnivores. It's just that I've usually seen the centipedes still in the vegetable or fruit.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-89275630572163423382012-09-18T02:03:42.635-07:002012-09-18T02:03:42.635-07:00The worms are spotted snake millipedes, Kelli.

We first found some in a potato in 2010 but also found a cluster in a strawberry this year. They are just one thing that may be nibbling you potatoes as small slugs and wireworms burrow into potatoes too.<br /><br />As for harvest we are like you and things are coming into their own now.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-49259324309996690652012-09-18T01:11:46.512-07:002012-09-18T01:11:46.512-07:00A nice harvest there, lots of variety.
