New bin Need advice/help

Not pictured but a layer of grit (eggshells)

The problem, second time I’m checking under the 3 gallon bucket and there’s some escapees. I keep this outside so I have drainage on the bottom and keep the lid on top. How can I make them happy and or improve the situation?

What is your bedding? Are those native worms?

Pic 4 is the food/greens coffee grounds (maybe too much?) everything else is cardboard/brown paper napkins
Also no clue if native or not but I believe they’re red wriggles they do freak when touch
