I've had compost out for a while in ugly bags with holes, there are critters under it:
Earwigs, woodlice, black millipedes, centipedes, springtails, mystery small critters, a huge millipede occasionally, ground beetles, a devil's coach horse beetle... and 0 worms.
Will try to get buy some tiger worms.
We have the dreaded new zealand flatworm (GROSS looking things) which may not help...but perhaps buying some worms and adding them may get things started.

You need compost (sometimes called tiger) worms rather than the bigger earthworms - lumbricus terrestris. Once you start the compost bin they will find it. If you lay a few planks or pot bases out in the garden for a week or so you’ll find them stuck to the bottom.
