Foreign Grain Beetles in Superworm Colony

[JC.SAVVY]

Hello, I have a large colony of superworms, and I just discovered itty bitty beetles (foreign grain beetles) roaming around in their substrate.
From the research I've done, these beetles are harmless to humans and pets. They feed on fungi and mold, which I suppose is the reason I have this infestation. I am going to clean their entirely tonight in hopes of removing the stale food that the worms buried. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this before with this specific beetle species? Thanks for any feedback! Btw, I took photos of one under a microscope.
