   While stalking a #haramböcek, I happened upon our flour bug nest. They were living inside a not-yet-opened pack of linguine, which they had partially ground to flour. I did not know they would do that -- fascinating!
   
   There was a small leak in the package, too small for me to see, but I could see its effect: a small pile of flour had poured out onto the shelf and 4-5 of the buggers were in it. Inside the package I could see maybe a dozen at a glance.
   
   They haven't been a nuisance. I have seen maybe 1-2 of them in the mixing bowl in the same cabinet every 1-2 days. But I have been wondering a bit where they were coming from, double-checked the flour bag and the plastic bag around it a few times, and it feels good to have this minor mystery resolved.
   
   Thanks, roachie!

      I'm also noticing improved reflexes and hand-eye coordination over time, so thanks for that too, I guess.
