Sorry, but without having it under my dissecting scope it would be difficult to determine. Some sort of vermiform larva, but it could also be a worm. How sealed is your colony? Have you noticed any adult flies around it?

It may be the the blow flies laid eggs onto the screening and the hatching larvae were able to make it down to the substrate.
