Warning: picture not for those who are squeamish about insects. You have been warned!
We have a giant bag of pistachios. They are delicious and nutritious - an excellent snack food, particularly for Offspring the Third, who likes to have something to chew while he is struggling through his algebra homework.
Herself was contentedly consuming a few nuts this morning as she checked her e-mail. She absentmindedly looked down into the shell of the pistachio she just ate, and spotted --- what was that?
A dried grub.
A larva.
Something that had made a home in the shell.
She may never eat another pistachio again.
