What are these grubs in my compost?

The Mrs spotted these whilst watering the sweet potato plants we have on the kitchen window sill. Anyone know what they are?

They're the wee white things in the pics:

At that stage, they could be almost anything. Looks like it's time to turn over your compost to heat it up and get rid of the little squatters.

I wouldn't have thought that it matters too much, as long as they are munching away on the compost! :)
