I just flooded it again. Are the little white wriggling worms that float on top what turn into mites?

The worms are small - could get maybe a half dozen or more on the head of a pin. There are lots of them. Or are they just something else that lives in the dirt?

And I thought we were supposed to keep these on the dry side - or do I keep the dirt dry and keep misting the top?
