It is possible that they were Wax Moth larvae. What do they look like? Here is a photo <http://www.libertybee.com/images/larvae.jpg> taken from <http://www.libertybee.com/waxmoth.htm> a good resource to learn more about them. Keep in mind that paradichiorobenzene (PDCB) mothballs should not be used in active colonies. The treatment in active colonies is a strong colony (if only it were that easy :^) Hope this helps, and good look in your new adventure.
