Hey y’all so recently I been seeing these little black guys all over Nova’s food dish. I do have springtails ( the white ones) but now I’m seeing these??? Any idea what they are.
Springtails change colors as they mature

I’m gonna try to get a better photo tomorrow. I dont know her cage is down in my basement and I have a lot of springtails but like I said I’ve just been noticing these the last couple weeks.That last picture looks like it has 2 prongs on its butt (I know thats not the correct terms lol! I just don't like bugs lol) is that the case? If so it almost looks like an earwig too
Most likely what Blackdog1714 said though lol. I just know earwigs like damp places and live plants too
This one looks shiny. It could be a micro- beetleHere’s another one it’s semi smaller though.
Do that if you see an arthropod like that. They have venomI dont know guys. I’m kinda worried I found a centipede in her cage last month and it was huge. I got rid of that real fast. Question is how is it getting in there!! . I’m gonna probably go buy all new substrate soon. I will try to get a better photo of the bugs on a white surface tomorrow.

Omg could that centipede have had babies?Look like springtails and diplura (maybe). some are just different colors
Yes they do!!! And mean as hell! Was it one with the red head? ?Do that if you see an arthropod like that. They have venom
UGH!!!!I found one of those bigger black Beatles in mine once. The ones that hang out by water heaters. Bleh! I got it out and then, because I hate anything like even remotely looks like a roach, I did the cringy bug dance ? might be sneaking in the small space where we tie all the vents up for out cords...
It was an orange centipede looking thing. Exactly like this one but HUGE.Yes they do!!! And mean as hell! Was it one with the red head? ?
