They are dermestid beetle larvae. Pull them out as you find them.I have a quick question, hopefully you guys can answer it!
I received my order of 5k mealworms today from rainbow worms... I am really happy with the order. I found 2 beetles, one promptly flew off so I guess if wasn't the right kind. I also have found 5 of these guys. Does anyone know what they are? They have hair, 6 legs, light colored bellies, dark brown backs with a light colored broken strip.

I LOVE this thread! I just started my first mealworm colony with 1,000 of the little guys just over 2 weeks ago. After the beetles lay their eggs, how many new mealies should we expect in the new batch? Thanks in advance!
