Help I got a bug

I have a small striped bug living in and crawling out of a hole in my finger leather. it only comes out at night so I don't think I can get a picture. it looks like candy cane striped and is about 1/2 inch. there are about 3-4 of them I can see with a flash light about 1 hour after the lights go out.

what can I do I have never treated softies as I have never had any problems with any of mine in 3 years.

Help thanks
Roger

do they move fast or slow? do they have legs? If it's a small crustacean, there are a ton of fish that will eat them
