So I'm cutting my fleece to make a liner, and I found a little silk worm looking thing in my fleece! It's one of the kind you fish with! Talk about gross. I've even washed this fleece multiple times to wick it so talk about a surprise! I'm glad I found it before the pigs...

@guineapigcraz27, it's not a grub. It's too tiny. I forget that they're called, but my dad buys them for fishing all the time.

Waxworm perhaps? Commonly sold as fish/reptile food and fishing bait. It's a moth larvae.

Where do you store your fleece? Do you have wool blankets or coats in the same spot? You might have moths.
