Surprise worms!
I was picking out the beetles from the pupae box today, and saw a half-grown worm. At first, I thought I must have had him stuck to my hand for him to get in the wrong place, but then I found several more. I started stirring the bedding and found a couple dozen small worms. I try and take the beetles out every day or two, but sometimes some get lost in the bedding. I guess some were there long enough to mate and lay eggs, and now, I'm finding their offspring! These worms haven't had any moisture. I don't put fruit in this box, since the pupae are just dormant while they're in there. I expect I'll find more there in the future.
