I can't see so well on my phone but those look like grain mites. They aren't harmful but pretty annoying. Baby superworms look like teeny tiny superworms, usually about 1/8"-1/4" when you can start to see them.

Yeah those are definitely grain mites. They are a pain in the butt but aren't harmful. Best to deal with them quickly though. They thrive in humid environments and the most effective way of getting rid of them that I've found is to run a good dehumidifier right near the infestation. Keep it running to try and get the humidity down below about 45. It usually takes a week or so but has done the trick when I've had an infestation.

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!
