Dosent look too bad, perhaps try to get it to drink a little more.
9 mealworms is asking for trouble, that many will form a solid mass in the stomach that may be hard to digest. I suggest one or two (if you must feed them) every other day, no more than that. Try to feed pale/white freshly moulted ones sinces the chitin has not yety hardened, they will be softer and easier to eat.
Gutloading your crickets with moist food will also get the urates a little whiter (better hydration).
p.s next to the urate (white part) looks like a cricket that has not quite been digested properly, ensure the basking temperature is correct and that it does actually bask.
Perhaps skip feeding for a day or two now, but keep misting. Installing a dripper wont hurt either.
