To be frank, I believe that all insects are beneficial to compost, as most bugs that eat organic matter will help break down the contents of your compost pile. Centipedes, millipedes, sowbugs, earwigs, beetles, and of course, earthworms of all stripes are welcome.

∙ 7y agoAnts, beetles, crickets and termites are examples of bugs that are found in compost piles. Crickets control vegetation by eating protein-rich weed seeds that may be wind-dispersed into compost piles and into other places where gardeners do not wish them to be. Ground beetles devour such insect pests as spotted cucumber beetles and squash bugs.

How do pill bugs help compost piles?
Decomposition is the way that pill bugs help compost piles. Compost piles serve as venues for the decomposition of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich humus. Pill bugs unite with ants, earwigs and sow bugs in the breakdown endeavor even though gardeners will need to remove, by raising heap temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48.89 degrees Celsius), the above-mentioned crustaceans and insects before the final composting stages.
