Tiny bugs found in dubia roach shipment

I found these tiny crawling bugs in my recent shipment of dubia roaches. I haven’t seen them before and I didn’t notice them until after I fed my beardie. Does anyone know what these are and if they’re harmful to bearded dragons?

Those look like dermestid beetle larvae. They put the beetles in dubia colonies to clean up after them. They are harmless.
