Caterpillar? 
Ok, so we’re going on vacation tomorrow, so I went to go get crickets for my gecko to take care of his business for a week, and when I looked in the bag of crickets I found this little worm thing in it. I took it out and put it in a seperate small tank, and it looks like a caterpillar of some sort. Does anyone know what kind this is? I know the pictures aren’t clear, but its as clear as I can get it. It’s a dark brown/black with a tint of redness, fuzzy like a caterpillar, its about a little over a centimeter and it has a creamy/white underside. Can anyone guess what this is?

Lol not a little over a centimeter, more like two and a half centimeters.
And it *sorta* looks like this, but without the orange bristles, smaller, and the tail end is more narrower.

no, this is not a caterpillar. it is the larvae of a dermestid beetle. the same thing had happened to me. i was getting some crickets and a dermestid beetle larvae was in the bag. who knows how it got there.
