Worms in feeding bin

Does anyone know what these worms are? It's really difficult to get a good picture if you don't see them moving but it's those hairy ones that almost look like centipedes. My feeding bin is crawling with them after I fed off the crickets and there are only isopods left in there. Or should....
In the summer the bin was outside for some days because it was warmer than inside, so maybe some wild bugs came in during that time.
Do you think I should trash ist?

I have no idea- personally, I’d trash it rather than take the risk

Those are dermestid beetle larva, clean up crew that they put in when they ship feeder insects so they are fine.
You are right, that's what they look like. Strange I didn't notice them when I put everything in, though.
Thank you a lot! :)

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
