I can't speak for Hop-Frog but I have received bulk LEGO(r) brand pieces
with things such as dead insects and dried insect eggs mixed in. That was
from eBay though. Never live larvae. (or at least I didn't really check all
that closely)
I'll say this, I tend to buy only, or mostly, new pieces only, because I am
buying for production. Sometimes due to rarity I have no choice though. Then
I buy used, and sometimes I am dismayed at what I get.
Usually I can work it out with the seller, or just write it off. But it's a
problem, and as BrickLink gets bigger, it may become a bigger problem.
