i have a woodies colony of about 1000-1500 woodies, i breed them for my beardie. I noticed a couple of days ago other sort of mealworm sort of lookinggrubs crawling around only a dozen thoughabouts, and they seem to grow into a fluffy sort mealworm, i am yet to find any beatlesin their. What are these, are they normal to be their? are they dangerous? to they pose a threat to my colony and/or beardie?
 
Could be either moth larvae feeding on what you feed the woodies or can be beetle larvae feeding on the bodies of expired woodies. Either way, to exclude them from your colony, a flyscreen mesh fitted as part of the lid to the colony container will do the trick.
