Larder beetle larve mixed in with crickets

Are these safe to feed to my little Panther Cham? There were 3 mixed in with my crickets. Thanks.

Id keep them for cleaners and not feed them off. beetles go for a buck each or more. The bigger breeders use them to eat the dead crickets in the tanks. One word of advise, the beetles nick name is "carpet beetles" because they will eat carpet fibers when they run out of food.

Wow! so thats what those little fuzzy bugs are in my cricket order!!

I have always wondered what in the world these things are that I keep getting every time I buy cricks in bulk
