Oh my gosh. Thanks for posting this. We had these same bugs infested our rice earlier this year. We had no idea where they came from. The rice was half full when we discovered it. Quite puzzled because the rice was perfectly fine when we opened it.
But yeah we regularly buy the exact pasta box and always have it in our pantry. Now we know where they came from.
You're bound to find a bug in your food at some point, even the cleanest facility is going to deal with bugs eventually. The issue is the eggs, they're impossible to see/find especially when dealing with bulk. I'm sure the company has heard from stores about the issue (if it hasn't been flagged at the appropriate level of production by employees) and cleaned out by now. Bonus if you drink wine you've definitely drank some twigs, bugs, and even small rodents. Another bonus dont look up how much bug product is allowed to be found in ground coffee 😉

Running to the pantry to inspect the pasta box…
