Probably a Buffalo worm, its nothing to worry about if it is

not a worm tho lol its like a lil black beetle

could be from the meal worms, they turn into black beetles

In that case it'll probably be a Buffalo beetle because thats what buffalo worms turn into

aren't the usual mealworms from darkling beetles?

I think so, this is probably a buffalo beetle though because their larvae are used with rearing the crix apparently, hence why some end up in cricket tubs

EWW yeah, I've seen beetles running around but fortunately no one has yet realised that they're coming in with the crickets

Fingers crossed these last two will start munching on these phoenix worms so I can ditch the crix...
