though i admit that a few weevils have yet to discourage me from baking something; a little extra protein has never bothered me (once it stops moving; it's the wriggling that i don't like). no, i don't usually share such baked goods with guests, and it's also been a long time since i had weevils in my flour.
meal moths, now, they're annoying, because their webby stuff gets all over, and pretty much ruins the flour.
putting your flour into the freezer for a few days after buying it should do the critters in. yo can also heat it in the oven at 130F for 30 min. if i were you, i'd now investigate all packages in the cubboard, since most of the bugs don't just go for flour, but also for cereal, rice, grains, pasta. none of them are harmful to humans, so the food will be safe to eat after you've sifted them out, if you can overcome the grossness factor.
