In my Cricket Bin, the Crickets and Mealworm Beetles got killed off by the worm like insect. I've never seen it before. It's not in my tank but it looks ugly
Sorry if the pic isn't good enough.

Re: What are these?
Idk, they appeared in the container and are all over the seed I feed my crickets. This never happened before. They are breeding like crazy. Should I keep one and see what it turns into?

Re: What are these?
Oh! I know what that is... posted about having the same thing in my cricket tank a few months back. Will go look up that post, I think Bill said what it was. It's some sort of cleaner bug larvae thing, they use them to strip carcasses for taxidermy I believe (if I have the right bug).
Mom to these fine frogs!

Re: What are these?
Thanks, I couldn't get back to you because your message box was full. And I don't even know how they got in there?

Re: What are these?
Easy. They come in with cricket shipments. If you recently put some new crickets in there, that caused it

Well, thanks for the responses, I'm glad it wasn't something that is dangerous. It looks really ugly haha

Re: What are these?
Might be the larvae for a carpet beetle. Hard to tell though without a better picture and lighting. They also have a voracious appettite once the become a beetle. The larvae frequently are the culprits for holes in your clothing that otherwise are blamed on moths.
Whatever they are, don't let them get loose in your house. Some beetles, such as carpet beetles are very hard to rid yourself of.
Re: What are these?
Yes exactly, I got rid of them. I think they were carpet beetles. They looked like they were eating the seeds clean. The crickets can't even do that. I'm happy there aren't any in my tank!!
