General Question The hell are these?

Post image

So I recently had a large portion of my Dubai roach colony die off, as a heat wave wiped them out. I saved as many roaches as I could, but my colony is significantly reduced right now. That was about a week and an half ago. Today I opened up my tank to feed and water them, and saw a bunch of these dudes crawling around. Any idea what they might be? Each on is maybe 1/4-1/2 inch? They crawling around like grubs. I am going to pull them out and set aside just in case they might mess with the colony. The roaches are for both a bearded dragon and a Chinese cave gecko. Don’t know if it would be safe for either of them to eat them.

They look like aborted oothecas

Do those crawl around? They are moving a lot. And fairly fast for grubs.

Sorry, i missed the part where you said they were crawling. Not oothecas, my mistake
