Yikes!! Kill it... with FIRE. That is why people advocate buying live food from a pet store. Local food insects can be carrying anything including pesticides.

 

Also sanitize any kind of local wood you add to a nest with at least boiling water.

 

I still use local insects as feeders, but I never claimed to be smart.

I had a dream last night I woke up to those red mites all over every colony I keep. This post must have traumatized me and subconsciously stayed with me.
