Worms in cricket boxes

[Lala0]

What are the worms you find in boxes of crickets?
What do they become?

What do they look like? I've found dermestid beetles, which some cricket breeders add to eat up the dead crickets. You can't know what they'll turn into without knowing what type of worm it is.

As KarmaChameleon already stated , it's most likely Dermestid Beetle larve. (they are dark in color and fuzzy). They will turn into little black Beetles.

I wondered what those where. I never saw them until my last shipment of crickets. Looked harmless so I wasn't to worried.

If it's, as stated, the little dark fuzzy looking things, they're a bonus! I used to try to set them free because I felt bad for them, but now that I know what they do (eat the cricket debris) I get happy when I see them in the box.

Good, thanks
