It's all there

Whether it's finding a frog in your toilet or bugs in your tea, isn't the internet great for sharing, and making you feel so much less special? And less clever and humorous, since other people's comments are so much funnier and cleverer?

As you may have guessed, Topiary opened a metal cannister of tea and found little creatures habitating apparently happily therein.

(Hours later after throwing every thing away from the cupboard) Topiary thought she'd done pretty well with keeping rice in the freezer (had been buggy before) flour in the refrigerator (notoriously buggy) and any type of cracker-thing in a sealed ziplock bag. Never thought about the tea.

Cow now sadly resigned to a life without cute blackberry and acai mango teas (the vision of bugs swimming happily in the bags is too much!

None of these posts answer the question though. How do these bugs live, apparently for years, in a sealed container where there is nothing to eat but dried tea? Do they not need any water, or the occasional culturally-enriching jaunt outside? What about inbreeding---isn't that a risk?

Cow now never looking at a teabag without suspicion, and wonderment.

Moo!
