Grain moth larva. Good luck. The damn things are a pain to get rid of once you have them. You'll want to pitch any food that isn't 100% air tight sealed (bags or boxes of cereal, rice, flour, sugar, noodles, etc.) and then clean out any cabinets really well to make sure you get rid of as many eggs as possible. After that make sure you don't leave any food unsealed for the next few months because odds are they will keep popping back up ocasionally for a bit and if they can get into anything when they do then the infestation starts all over. As far as infestations go they aren't the worst to deal with but they are anoying.
