Hey all,

Hope everyone's been safe. I haven't been as active on here because I've basically hit a stopping point prepping my chameleon cage for another panther, and since lots of things are close down, it's just been sitting. However, I have spotted a few bugs like this in there, usually one at a time, maybe a few to several days apart. I would assume this guy might've come from a branch I got outside and couldn't fit in the oven? It's not like the cage is airtight, so it could've crawled in from the outside I suppose. Should I be worried if I notice one of these little guys every once in a while?Hoping it's just a few stragglers. I'm not opposed to undoing all the branches, since that's about all I got done so far.

It almost looks line a black soldier fly. I would be wary about any bug that isn't captive bred as you doubt know what they have been in contact with.
