Are those cricket eggs??

They are on the cover of my bin. I googled it, but they all look different. I guess it depends on the type of cricket.

Where did you find them? They look like fly larvae. @jamest0o0 whats in the plastic box!

The don’t look like cricket eggs to me. Cricket eggs look more like a grain of rice and the usually lay them in moist soil or some moist area.

Do your crickets come with those dermestid cleaner beetles?

The larvae wouldn’t look like that. I keep dermestid beetles

Don’t they kinda look like that in the pupa stage between larva and beetle? Have no idea was just a thought lol.

No nettles... but there some gnats in there. The are on top of the cover, so not in the dirt (what I thought crickets would lay in. Ok... I’m getting rid of them. Ty

I would say not something you want if they are on the lid of your bin. A cricket can't jump up there and lay eggs so that rules out crickets... Which means mystery bugs... I would clean your bin as well. Transfer the crickets back into a clean bin with new egg crates.

Maybe if the image was more clear? I feel like the beetles look like little alines

Better?

They look more like some type of fly larvae then beetle larvae

They are fly larvae, likely a kind of phorid. If I ever get big die off the phorid find a way and lay eggs in the dead. The larvae feed on dead rotten stuff, some are parasitic, but I haven't noticed any of these kinds around. When they pupate they often climb to the top of the bin and then hatch back out into flies.

Ewww... I guess I had a couple dead crickets in the bin.

Fannidae fly larva. They are atracted to decomposing bio material. Not harmful but id get rid of them.

I can’t believe I’m able to answer this... they are kinda hard. Tell your “friend”
