Maggot looking worms in my mealworm tub

I ordered some mealworms for My bearded dragon and when they came the package was crushed and had small maggot looking worms in the box but only a few that I could see . I put them in a new box with another underneath just in case anything got out and I was correct in thinking that.
Fast forward a few days there everywhere in the outer box and over half the box is dead the supplier has had similar complaints about the same issue already.
Don't really want to give them to my beardie anymore just want to know what they are and are they harmful?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
