    I'm not sure if we're talking about the same kind of worms/beetles, but with the crickets that we order to my store as feeders I find little darkish worms and small black beetles too. From what I understand, they are dermestid beetles that eat dead insects, but don't pose a threat to the feeders. I could be wrong though.
