      Looks like some flour moth larva. Put some traps up and put your food in closeable containers.

      It’s a Lebensmittelmottenlarve (moth larvae). You need to find the “infected” food and throw it away, ALL of it. If it’s just 1-2 larvae, some stick pads may suffice. Otherwise, save some time and order Schlupfwespen to get rid of the moths.

      They look like the larvae of “Mehlmotten” (Pantry/flour moths). Look in everything that contains either cereals (bread, oats, müsli…) or is some kind of powder (? tea, spices, ground nuts) for moths or their webs. You need to throw these out immediately, clean everything and it’s best to store all foodstuff in airtight containers…

      Most likely these are larvae of food moths. You should check all your dry foods, especially flour, nuts, cereals, tea. If you find anything throw away the whole package. Clean your cabinets thoroughly.
      Then get „Schlupfwespen Larven“ the come in little cards that you place in your drawers and cabinets. They will eat the eggs of those moths.
      Make sure to remove all larvae you find now. And moths you will find within the next 1-3 weeks. Also kill them. Set up some pheromone traps which will attract the males – tro prevent further offspring.

      looks like the larva of a flour moth. check out online for a complete list but every food item including coffee and tea, bread, noodles, rice needs to be sealed in an airtight jar. they eat through plastic even when sealed fresh f rom the supermarket.

      if the are already crawling on the walls and ceiling you’ve got a pretty heavy infestation, removing cabinets and clearing in every crevice might be necessary. if nothing else helps get a professional

      Looks like a maggot.

      You get rid by cleaning your kitchen and identifying the place they come from. This could be either something rotting or some contaminated food like a bag of rice (or anything else).

      Maybe anybody knows what kind of maggot this is, this could help to narrow down the source.

      That looks like a pantry moth larvae. You likely have many more somewhere. They primarily feed off stored dry food products (flour, cereal, rice, nuts, dried fruits, chocolate, pet food, etc). Throw away all sorts of foods that are in open containers (they easily eat through plastic bags) and if they continue to appear in your kitchen get a parasitic wasp. Good luck.

      Food moths. They live in dry food like cereals, wheat, herbs, oat flakes and so on. They can eat through plastic bags. You got them propably from a contaminated food producht from the supermarket.

      Check all your inventory, throw everthing away that looks even remotely suspicious, clean out everything with vinegar, You can buy sticky traps for them. Put these into your cuppboard for a few weeks and change them on a regular base.

      These pesky insects are a pain and hard to get rid of.

      Time to throw out all the dry foods and not buy new ones for a couple weeks. Even freshly bought stuff might get infested because they can eat through plastic packaging. They even infest things you wouldn’t expect like cocoa powder or chocolate.
