Unknown Organism in the Cockroach Colony, Tarantula Inbreeding

Hello experts, I have two questions. The second one actually occurred to me when I was randomly searching on a domestic forum. For the first question, could you help me identify the organism in the picture? I bought hundreds of cockroaches, and they just arrived today. While I was picking out the dead ones, I found this in the cup. What is it? Is it a booklouse? For the second question, are there any defects in inbred tarantulas? Some say a large portion of a brood may die. At which molt do they typically die? Also, do they exhibit symptoms like twitching or dance-like movements? Do they become smaller in size? And what other issues might arise? I think inbreeding might be more common for them in the wild.
