I believe myself to be one of the cleanest people I know. I went to use my blender, which was put away in my cabinet cleaned, when I opened the top a mealworm fell. When I looked inside, there were more in the crevice of the blade and the blender inside, needless to say I freaked. If I wash it and dry it before I close it and put it away, how can there be mealworms inside? Did someone play a joke, or should I be changing the way I store my stuff?

Mealworm larva is so tiny it could have gotten into the crevices of the blender. And any little moisture or air can hatch the larva into worms.
My biggest freak out was a container of green beans I had saved to plant the following year.
They were closed up in an air tight container. When I went to get them to plant, they had bugs in them and were half eaten.

This is straight from the twilight zone. But, meal worms are beige in color, fly larvae are off white, with black head. Either way, it is spooky
