Help Me Identify Green Worm Inside Yucca Stalks

Question

I purchased yucca stalks or poles from blooms and branches and they were infested with these tiny green worms inside them. I had noticed the insect burrow holes on the sides of the poles / stalks prior to cutting them in half to investigate if that helps any. Please help me identify these little things.

Answer 1

The most common tunneling critter of yuccas is the yucca weevil but those larvae are grublike. This could be something that burrows during storage of the poles like a wood worm. I think I would be asking for my money back from Blooms and Branches.
