They're just a really tiny bug... Like a speck. They just eat the waste in the enclosure. I'm sure if there are 2 there are more you don't see. They're really hard to see

When I tried to get a picture of them it took over an hour because the camera has to focus so much

i think thats what i saw in my enclousure, i tried to see it from close and they are realy tiny white things. they are hard to take photo from them..

Are there any similar bugs to this one ? So i can check what i saw.

The only thing I found even close was mites... I emailed tarantula Canada a picture of them and they confirmed it for me.
