I checked on my beetles and found thousands of tiny, little white bugs crawling everywhere in my beetle enclosure. They are about the size of a pinhead and are crawling on the glass, my skulls, and even my beetles and larvae. What are they? Are the harmful to my beetles? If so How do I get rid of them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Easton , use the search to find out what they are and what to do.
What size pin? 1 mm or smaller?
Easton,I've never heard of a real cure for mites,just preventative measures.I've been experimenting with terramycin and have been having pretty good results with it.I dust with it like you would for bees.Plus I take a paper towel and add a good amount of terramycin,then soak it down good with water.I use a plastic lid to hold the paper towel.The bugs you have left should drink from it and it adds to the mite removal.I have saved 4 tanks like this recently.Give it a shoot if all else fails.Rancid
