Also, I don't know what kind of larvae you found, but if it can be identified, you can check the lifecycle of the insect and compare that to how long it takes to go through a bag of food. For instance, some eggs takes 10 days to hatch. If you've had the food for 10 days it was there after purchase. If there are babies and adults, then the cycle is ongoing. Just some things to consider.
She sent me a picture but I no longer have it. I'll ask her to resend it. I don't know how much of the food was gone before she noticed it. We were both so grossed out about it, I tried to avoid much of the specifics. I will be looking for expiration dates and holes in the next bag of food I purchase.
