Hello,

Well, the thing is, cricket eggs when they hatch out, they do not squirm or turn to worm type of larvae. They go from an egg capsule straight to a tiny tiny cricket that looks like an ant.
Do you have any gnats around that could have laid eggs, they could be maggots of some sort.

I keep my crickets in the garage and i do not see any little flies at all. The weird thing about it is I only saw them because I brought the cricket cage outside temporaraly an it was really hot outside all of a sudden i start seeing these weird little larvae looking things? Does anyone know if I should throw the crickets I have that are in there out and get new ones or can I just clean their enclosure and put them back?? Will this make the dragon sick??? I would hate to throw away two hundred crickets. Please if anyone has a suggestion on what to do I would really appreciate it! Throw out supply and buy new or clean the cage and return crickets??
Eww so gross! :?

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
