I've seen a moth or two. They are very little moths. They are the same type of moths that were around a lot last time we found these worms in the flour bins last summer. Only this time we found most of the worms before they turned into moths. So I'm basically as sure as I can be that they're moth larvae. So, it isn't harmful to eat moth larvae, is it? I bet there are some people who do it on purpose! Right??? > I keep all my nuts, beans and such in glass jars, btw. Good idea. Well, these weren't really in " active use. " I think last year my grandmother was like " You want some almonds? " and I said, " Sure, " and put them in the cabinet. :-P Chris -- Want the other side of the cholesterol story?
