Story: I was feeding my dubia roaches today and found a recently dead adult female dubia. I decided to feed it to one of my chameleons. My chameleon bit its head off so I placed it back on a leaf near her. Then I noticed a bunch of tiny white spider like bugs crawling out from the dubia and they kept coming!! Crawling on the leaves.. I was disgusted! Threw the dead dubia away and removed the leaves they were crawling on and I killed any I saw on the branches.

Question: What are these tiny white bugs? Can they kill the dubia roaches? They were coming out of the inside of the dubia. Will it harm my chameleon?
 
My guess would be mites. Did you get any pics? I would look over your bin real good. I'm guessing there are many more. Do you have ventilation on your roach bin? Check around the lip of your roach bin where the lid over laps.

The top of the roach bin lid is all cut out and screening has been put in, that is the only ventilation they get. How do I get rid of them?
