probably that allowed any larva to grow and multiply (5months) into a

Even if they _are_ airtight, it doesn't take a lot of air inside the
can to allow the critters to survive and breed.

This is a very popular thing with Hungarian paprika, also. Keep it in
the freezer or the seeds will hatch and you will have a can full of bugs
very quickly.

Yes, I've had a little container that was difficult to use -- they
were all stuck together and wouldn't come out. When I investigated
closer... I noticed that it's full of bugs!

Needless to say, it was rather disgusting and I threw it away....

Wait a second...if they are grain moths, then you CAN collect the poo
poo and drink it (or sell it for a high sum), no? Isn't that what
"long zhu" (aka: poo pu-erh) is made from?
