Its a larvae from a kind of fly. Its thin and transparent white right?

yes it is not totally transparent it is like opaque. whiteish.

i believed that thoses were from the dead feeders ...
duw to humid conditions..

do correct me id i am wrong

here are the pics. no more guessing.

these are moving about. i even found 1 of them poking out from the mealworm.



these are just sitting there no obvious movement.
they look likes eggs to me.

Well, it looks like wat leet's said, larvae of some kind of fly...
Its different from the one i saw, mine are way longer and they looks like wiggling noodles

looks to me its like maggots..

Larvae of fly = maggot. The ones you have in your tank are maggots akagi. Changing the substrate will do.

You may also want to consider getting a completely new batch of feeders. I had a fly infestation before. Placed some mealworms in airtight containers in an experimental attempt to find out the source of the maggots. All I can tell is, mealworms are not really the safest feeders around.

Trying changing the substrate first. And if there is a recurrence of the same condition, dispose the current batch of feeders you have - crickets, mealworms or roaches.

Good luck.

will do.i'm drying the substrate today
thinking of presure cooking them.

Does AFS tend to be picky with the size of their food? My AFS caught a huge cricket (this cricket alredi molted til da stage where is so huge, brown colour wif large wings), caught it in its claws for a while then let it go. It wasnt struggling, cricket is quite weak. Moments later I pushed a smaller cricket to it, once caught straightaway eat the smaller cricket.

Mine sumtimes the same,grab its prey then release it.Once it grab its prey,the prey already half dead.So i just leave it there and it will eat it eventually..
