I'm pretty sure they were rice weevils, based on a google search. My
question is do I have to throw out everything in my pantry now?

Nah, the weevils were in the rice when you bought it. They had a nice life
in the bag and probably never ventured out as they had plenty of good food
where they lived.


Thanks for the replies. I think you are right, that they came with
the bag. I inspected everything in my pantry, and didn't see any sign
of other infested items. So, I guess I won't worry about it unless I
see more.

I don't think I would sift out the bugs and then cook the rice - ick.
Also, I think this bag was 50% or more damaged, so it probably
wouldn't produce a quality bowl of rice - unless perhaps I wanted a
carb-reduced rice :-)
