Fuzzy catapillars in Dubia Roach container?

19nick93 · Mar 25, 2015

Hi, I just noticed as I was pulling out some baby dubias to feed to my beardie, that there are fuzzy catapillars in there, along with tiny tiny almost microscopic babies catapillars.... Why is this? Can't it be dangerous to my beardie? I ordered them from Kimbrellscoldblood.com Here's a pic.

They are dermestid beetle larvae. Many large scale bug breeders use them as cleaner crews to eat molts and dead bugs. They aren't dangerous.

Oh, thank you very much for clearing that up for me. I was worried for a second that I maybe brought an outside bug into my colony by accident. =O
