Orange Squirmy Worm

We found these tiny squirmy orangish things in the bottom of a pail after it rained about a week ago in our backyard (Oceanside, CA). We looked at it under the microscope at 4x. Any idea what this is? We'll keep watching the pail to see if they change--maybe they're insect larvae.

I like how it moved around with its little pod feet.  It wasn't very happy under the microscope so we put the little guy back in the pail with its friends.
