Hi, I have a large mealworm colony for my little ones.. I have noticed that there are billions of tiny white dots that move around the sides of the containers and on the lid.. I have no idea what they are, but I have seen a bunch of them eating a beetle. They might be scavengers but I fear that they are parasitic. Does anybody have any idea what they might be? I suspect that they appeared after I put too much fruit at once inside. I just fear that I can kill all my slings feeding mealworms from that colony.

UPDATE:
I figured out that they might be grain mites. Any idea if those are harmful to a T?
I'm sorry, I found answers to all my questions. I was panicking too much to google everything and just turned here. I found a thread on AB. Sorry again.
