They are more than likely Dermastid beetle larvae. They will eat the dead crickets from your cage and are actually benneficial.

The beetles are really good flyers so watch out so they don't infest your home depending on what things you own.

If you are talking about these Dermestid beetles... almost any organic matter (mostly animal origin). I've kept many species on meat, fur, hair, dead insects ect.

Be carefull they are really anoying pests.
