I just found three or four flying orangeish tan bugs in the crabitat?! I had found one like a couple weeks ago but i thought it just got in from the house. If this is an infestation i cant keep them anymore, I’ve never seen this kind of bug before and it’s freaking me out lol. I’ll try and get a picture in a second, but does anyone know what these are?!
Edit- i cant find them flying around anymore , I’m not sure if they got out or are just resting but if i find them again i will be sure to take a picture. If anyone knows what they are just from the description, that would be great! They are kind of like round ish looking with wings, although i didn’t look for long.

Re: Orange/Tan flying bugs?!
Fruit flys are the worst!! Try to refrain from feeding fresh foods - stick to dry foods, and only put the foods in there when the hermits are awake. Good luck! 
You can also make the bottle traps to keep outside of your tank.
