Eww! I have no idea! I'm eating and it's put me off!

Maybe it's something like a 'Seed bug' or something?

This bug could have came from bad seed sometimes if you buy seed that is old there are ussually moths in it .this (white catipillar) will eventually grow into a moth. Dont worry just change your seed.:)

Good and I hope it never happens again! Just out of interest, what seed did you used to get and what one now?
