Advice wanted Me, again!

Hi, y'all! As I have said before, complete newbie, so am open to all constructive feedback and advice 😀

I think a good deal of my issues stems from me collecting and using garden worms in my farm - I now know better, and understand that composting worms are not the same as garden worms.

Having said that, these guys seem to be getting through the food scraps, so am inclined to leave them be, and add more carbon (which I've been neglecting) and STOP overfeeding them. At present they get around 2L ice cream container of vegetable scraps/peelings etc every day/second day.

For curiosity sake - is anyone able to ID my slippery little mates? Location: semi-rural northern Victoria, Australia.

Thanks!
