Found this on my cricket order...

[Mesnik]

It looks like a superworm but I am not familiar with them. I have ordered from Millbrook farm and they had a poor picture of their superworm so I thought... It is about 3/4 in long.

What do you think?

Is it safe to use this batch of crickets?

Thanks.

Oh yes, I get those from time to time. I can't remember what they are called, but they are absolutely safe. I found that those and the fuzzy black ones are awesome for keeping your cricket bin tidy.

It looked like a miniworm to me!!!

There are a bunch of worms that all look similar: Mealworms, superworms, phoenix worms, etc. I'm not sure what kind that is. I've had random worms in my crickets before and I've had no problems with them.

Looks like a giant mealworm, but I know it's not a superworm.

Mesnik you avatar is great. sorry for off subject post. lol

 

[Mesnik]

Thanks!!!

It was one of those things that just worked out!!! The original picture didn't seem like it was going to be worth much...

so if you put a superworm, or some type like that in a cricket cage, it acts as a maid and cleans up after them?
