Lady bugs?

[RGWilby]

Just a suggestion: I was just looking through my cricket enclosure and actually found an Asian Lady Beetles larva burrowing into the egg carton that I have placed in there. Beware with egg cartons. I'm not sure if they could eat a parasite or not and then from there a cricket eat the larva and so on...I check pretty regularly but this was a first for me and kind of freaked me the hell out. Wasn't sure if anyone else has ran into this problem.

That may actually be a cleaner insect that comes with the crickets. Dermestid beetle larvae.

This is a 10 year old thread.

Just FYI.

And that is a Dermestid beetle larvae like Jacksjill said, most likely came with your crickets.
