Spider in locust box

A few months ago I saw a large spider crawl out of the box of locusts I put in my beardie's viv. I emptied out the whole vivarium to try and remove it but never found it. I know it isn't in the vivarium but now I'm not completely sure it was there and maybe it was just a locust looking like a spider. Has anyone else had experiences with finding other insects in their food?

If you order online sometimes you get a "cleaner" bug. I had ants in my crickets once and had to throw away all my crickets and treat the area for ants. Luckily I didn't have a whole lot of crickets at the time.

Be careful with outside bugs though in your tank. Some spiders are poisonous, you don't want your beardie eating them.
