Bought some crickets yesterday and just noticed a few grub things in the tub with them. Does anyone know what these are and if they are harmful to my Ts? I've taken them all out of the cricket tub now

Possibly dermestid larvae of some type, although they don’t look like the bristly larvae I typically see. Dermestid beetles are often found in cricket bins, where they function as a cleanup crew.

Googled some photos and pretty sure they are what you said. Glad to hear they are often found with crickets and must not do any harm. Grub things really gross me out so was panicking a bit as I'd already fed crickets from that tub to my slings! Thanks :)
