Odd maggots

I have some odd shape/sized maggots in what is suppose to be my compost bin.

Nearly an inch long, rectangular in shape, wider at head and narrower at the tail, gray/brown in colour, move like maggots, prefer the wet. (Been a bit damp in SE Qld lately)

Any idea as to what they are or if I should be worried about them. The wife is, wants me to spray they.

Could they be curl grubs?? I found these in my compost - thick little things, curl into a ball if you harrass them!

Thanks PEBBLES1. No these are flat like silver-fish, only darker, wetter & make me think I might feel un-healthy soon.(stomach contents wise)
