Any ideas? I will attach a picture, I have seen a few and husband is currently clearing out the pantry to see if they're in there somewhere. I've zoomed in, it's reallyyyyy tiny and pictured on wooden floor.

Thanks it might seem so! But where are they coming from? We checked the pantry and found a few there, but checked the rice/flour everything and they dont seem to be in them. They were just crawling around the pantry itself.

You might only have a few, they can come from any source of grain in the pantry, cereal too. They will have come from the field the grain was taken from, they are extremely hard to see, that's a big fat one. A lot of people consume them their whole life without realising because how tiny (and harmless) they are

If you don't want to go off grains for life, then don't Google how they end up in your grains. It's not pleasant, just think of all the years you've eaten all sorts of grains and been fine! Somehow the scorching hot bowl of porridge for breakfast my Nana used to go on about her whole life seems very smart Grin
