I found these tiny little bugs on my kitchen counter. I thought they were breadcrumbs until I saw them moving. The photos not that great because they're really small.

Doesn't seem to have legs or a head, so I'm guessing it's a larval stage of a gnat or similar (aka "maggot"). Bonus protein in your bread, I suppose?
