I've never seen what you are describing. The only thing that can to mind is could they be cricket eggs? Try googling what cricket eggs look like and see if that might be it. I don't know how specific cricket breeding conditions are, so this may not be possible, but maybe! Posting a picture on here would probably help a lot. I hope someone with more experience comments soon!

Sounds like they might have been maggots. Were you feeding the crickets any fruit? I occasionally find little gnats around my crickets bins due to the fruit. I doubt that you have a BD medical problem. I would do a thorough cleaning of the cricket keeper just in case.
