“Please help me with any information you can provide me about the four small worm/maggot-looking things in my kitchen today”, states this reader in her submission. She is referring to creatures that look like this little, grub-like organism pictured below, who appears to have a plump, white, segmented body.

A reader wrote to us a few days ago about some worms she is finding in her pantry. The worms in the pantry were found in a bag of rice flour that was purchased at a Chinese grocery store. The reader has researched the types of worms you find in pantries extensively, but has been unable to determine what she is finding. Fortunately, she included some excellent photos along with her question, so we are fairly confident we know what the worms in the pantry are.
