Ok.. by PhB:

Hex
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S, M (the petrified eye of a newt)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You place a curse on a creature that you can see within
range. Until the spell ends, you deal an extra 1d6
necrotic damage to the target whenever you hit it with
an attack. A lso, choose one ability when you cast the
spell. The target has disadvantage on ability checks
made with the chosen ability.
If the target drops to 0 hit points before this spell
ends, you can use a bonus action on a subsequent turn
o f yours to curse a new creature.
A remove curse cast on the target ends this spell early.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot o f 3rd or 4th level, you can maintain your
concentration on the spell for up to 8 hours. When you
use a spell slot o f 5th level or higher, you can maintain
your concentration on the spell for up to 24 hours.

Ok..
clarify this for me plz.
Assuming i cast Hex using a 5th+ lvl slot, it will last 24 hours (provided i maintain my con).
Lets say i cast it on bad guy X, and he dies after 1 hour, and there is no more bad guys to "transfer" it, i loose the spell???
cause that is what seems to be logical.

So, duration of 24 hours is for what? Just for those rare cases i ll hunt someone , and every now and then we spar a bit?

Cause if that's the case, couldn't i have a pouch with worms or ants and transfer hex on one of them when 1st target dies , until i find a new valid target,
kill the worm (resting in my hand as free action) and transfer hex to new target?

Thank you for your time

Subsequent turn could be the next turn or it could be 23h 59m later.

Subsequent simply means that one event occurs sometime after another one does. It does not mean that it must be immediately afterwards
