Black bugs with mealworms

Not open for further replies.
Just recently bought my beardie a container of mealworms as a treat. I started feeding him some and I noticed a small bug/larvae looking thing. To me it looks like a fuzzy little Caterpillar or a pupae. I was wondering what it is and if anyone has experienced this. I have only found one so far but it is a rather large count..Thanks in advance I'm trying to attach some pics ATM..

It looks like either a mealworm pupa or maybe a dermestid beetle pupa that may have been part of a cleaner crew. It shouldn't pose any harm.

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?
