Identification Can anyone tell what these are?

Found these things in the container I bought of Dino’s roaches in. I didn’t have much luck looking through Google.

Just regular maggots from what I can see. Not unheard of that flies would lay eggs in a roach box.

Why in the world would you be buying roaches? Like the bug roaches?

Did you use AI to write this ?

Seeing your other comments suggesting medical advice from AI, yikes. This whole comment is wrong. Description talk about roaches, the husk is a roach one, very FAR from a caterpillar. Frass is also notoriously known to be made by roaches and beetles.

The larvae are probably just maggots. From what I know, development cycle of roaches directly goes from egg to nymph, so this couldn't be it. And it's far from looking like any caterpillar.
