Bug identification.

Found this bug in my crickets for the second time. Got the crickets at an expo like usual. Any idea what it is? It looks a lot like a darkling beetle but is way to small. Sorry for the bad pictures. It was hard to focus on him.

Looks like a cleaner crew beetle to me

Is that an issue? I buy the crickets from a the cheapest person but I could always buy it from another person if the bugs cause issues.

No it’s fine they clean up after the crickets. I buy them and add to my crickets all the time

Oh that’s cool. Never heard of them, thanks for the response.
