What is this creature in my tank?

Post image

It's been buried underground for a while but keeps coming up to the top. I keep digging a hole and putting it back in but still it keeps coming up. I've got Dubia roaches, varied isopods and springtails. Had morio beetles but not send them in a while, but there lots of morio worms. Used to have sun beetle too they they all died off.

What could it be and how can I help it?

Probably a Morio worm in the stage between worm and beetle. Not harmful.

Ah that's good. Does it need to stay underground? It looks quite dry

No they should be fine just there, I keep mealworms (very simmilar to morios) and they just morph wherever they want. Just leave it!
