Default Insects in Pu-erh?

I bought some pu-erh, and, just out of curiosity, decided to crack the
cheapest cake in two halves. To my surprise, a little beetle-like
insect emerged and then retreated back to the cake.

Before contacting the vendor, I was wondering if this ever happened
with any of you, and if it is likely that the insect somehow got into
the cake in my house, since the steaming (it is a Shu cake) should have
killed anything like this.

Thanks,
