Possibly rice weevils, their larva or eggs. Get rid of all rid of rice, wheat and maize products, wash out all jars and disinfect all cupboards they were in as my auntie got them and she only got rid of the rice jar rice and we were finding them whilst eating rice/pasta etc.. dishes months later as they burrow inside to lay eggs. Disgusting creepy looking little things.

What harm do weevils actually do. You will be cooking the rice or flour.
