Yep, they get in most 'dried foodstuffs'. They'll lurk in cracks in shelving and love the damp so now you've wiped it all out try to dry it properly. If the little so and so's keep reappearing store all your dried foodstuffs in sealed containers, jars, plastic boxes etc. Total PITA
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
We got them from a batch of dodgy dog biscuits. By the time we found them they had invaded everywhere. After tipping away infested foodstuff and investing in lots of plastic containers I think we're on top of them now, haven't seen any live ones for a while, but they are a pain.
I am a bit wary of things like Gram flour that is packed in the sub-continent and or stored in warehouses that may not meet the same standards as expected in the UK, and we won't buy loose dog biscuits ever again
I don't like them in my stuff. I bet sailors in the old days were glad of a bit of protein but I prefer to go without. As well as keeping all my dry ingredients in tins or plastic airtight containers, I occasionally change my cupboards around so they go were the tins were and vice versa.
I don't keep flour in the cupboard. I keep it in airtight storage jars on the worktop. Before it goes into the jar it gets put in the freezer for three days.

Tiny little greyish flecks crawling about

I'll be inspecting all my food to see if it moves.

Thanks Dove. Some of those magnifying specs that dentists use would come in handy too.

There was gram flour in the container as well.
I stopped buying organic flour for the same reason.
