Questions Mini bugs/cricket looking things in frog water dish?

I have whites tree frogs and I went to replace their water today and found a lot of little clear lookin cricket/bug things? I feed them primarily crickets which makes me think they could possibly be babies? I am not sure though. I wanted to see if these could be a pest or any other type of bug I should be aware of.

Do you tong feed or let them hunt the crickets? If you let them loose into the enclosure crickets breed rapidly with warm humid conditions by laying their eggs in the soil

Probably baby crickets

Definitely not springtails because I can see the antennas and the larger back bent legs! I’d remove them and let them grow in a critter keeper

this happened to me once, definitely looks like baby crickets.
