wtf are these horrible little grubs in my utility room?

[hatwoman]

they appeared on the wall - a little circular patch of them about 2-3 cm across. on close examination they were like tiny tiny caterpillars - about 1-2mm in length and doing that horrible leech like think of moving by reaching out with one end, plonking it down and then moving the back-end to meet up with the front end iyswim. they were grimtastic and I need to know what they were

Ew. Are they ex-grubs now presumably? Maybe fruitfly larva?

Where have you been in the last few days? Woods, fishing, camping etc?

they are very ex, after being doused in industrial strength oven cleaner they were flushed down the loo.

fruitfly larva - maybe
where have we been? well we live in the countryside, walk the dog every day, dd went fishing about in the stream today and brought back a tub of water - but claims she saw the grubs before going to the stream

maggots - don;t think so as they were VERY small and not on anything normally attractive to maggots

good point about random patch of sugariness - can't think of any recent jam slinging but you never know

Do you store any birdfood, dried foods (rice, nuts, pulses) in that room?

If it is them, you need to find the source of the infestation and get rid of it and then give the place a good wipe down with disinfectant as they sometimes lay eggs in dust, lil buggers.

thanks always - I do have a recently purchased bag of bird food in there.
