Weird insects in my cricket box? What are those?

[C0nwayy]

Ok so I’m about to finish one of my cricket boxes. Some crickets I have in there are HUGE, yet they don’t have any wings yet. So, I don’t know if they’re able to breed yet or not.
Thing is, today while I was preparing Conway’s food, I noticed that my cricket box is FULL of these tiny little bugs. They’re nearly microscopic! I mistook them for just dust until I saw them move and climb on each other.

I was about to say those look like mites

Yup most likely detrivore mites. Can be creepy looking, but I've never known them to bother anything.

I’m used to seeing them now since they’re all over the hissers. Amazing they have those mites on them naturally to keep them healthy

Yeah I know right! Some of the hissers even look like they have dust on them lol. Meanwhile, mites!

The other day alexa freaked out on me because our plant had spider mites and I brought it inside, she thought they could crawl off and attack us...?‍

So I don’t have to worry about them right?
