Okay, so FedEx just came and delivered my crickets.  This is my first time ordering in bulk over the internet. I bought 1000 crickets through Flukers, which is located in Cali apparently..

So, I was looking through the screen, into the box to see if I ordered the right size crickets. I did, and I was happy. But then I noticed something that totally creeped me out. I saw a little black worm type thing with legs, and little hairs on its back.

Ugh, I'm not a bug person. But I can handle crickets, as I grew up handling them because I've always had reptiles growing up.

Anyways, I thought maybe it was just one little worm, but when I was looking in there I saw two, three, then a fourth and I set the box down as I started to freak out lol.

It reminds me of a baby black centipede or something, but I was just wondering if anyone knew what these are?  I think they were probably purposely packaged with the crickets seeing as how there were plenty in there.

No, I don't have a picture. Everytime I tried, the outcome was a black oval blur.

It's good to know they're just a cleaner but I'll look into fluker info to see what you're talking about. It looks like Coldbloods crickets may be cheaper than Flukers anyways Smiley

www.premiumcrickets.com is also a good provider. They are out of Georgia and I have used them for years.
