Oh, that's just great... now you tell me! After I pitched them! :wall:i forget what those are called too. They eat the nasty stuff.
No crickets lay eggs and baby crickets hatch out. They look like very tiny adults.
:wall: Little black larve looking like worms. Duhhh said small black larve.Ugh, they're phorid fly larvae. I'd suggest scooping as many as you can out and disposing them. They can infest your home if given the right conditions (the larvae can live on almost anything), and IMO are a LOT worse/annoying than fruitflies.
Just remove dead crickets yourself.
My mistake. For some reason my mind didn't read the word "black." The phorid fly larvae I've encountered were definitely not black. Though I guess they might appear black if they are eating gross, decaying black cricket corpses...:wall: Little black larve looking like worms. Duhhh said small black larve.
I was thinking about the large black crawly things. Dunno how to describe them but they come in with fluckers crickets when I used to use crickets. These things have a body like a pede but no pincers about 1/2" to 1" long. What are those? I was told they were good bugs?
GAWD I HATE THOSE FREAKIN THINGS!They're dermestid beetle larvae. They will pupate, hatch as beetles, and infest your entire room. I've been through that before.
Get rid of them. Feed them off, flush them, kill them however you want. Just get rid of them.
