ok what are they

[so lucky]

Really, Montyj? I guess they are smaller than I thought. I was picturing something about 3/4" long.

Fungus gnat larvae. They are traveling near the drip hose because of the moisture.

that's sure enough what they are..good eye monty.
looks like it's time to spray...

Indoors i use hydrogen peroxide mixed with water to kill them. Mixed 1 part HP with4 parts water. I think BT works on them too.

BT, diatamaceous <sp?> earth, or just scoop them up and toss them to the chickens or throw them in the sun. Either way, they won't last long. I don't think they are really harmful to a garden though.

Indoors they will feast on tender roots of seedlings. I don't know if this occurs outdoors. They sure are gross though.

y'all can keep those things. if they like moisture - I guess that's why I haven't seen them here. do they turn into something pretty?

 

[MontyJ]

Nothing pretty. They just turn into annoying fungus gnats.
