I've used vermiculite and/or sphagnum moss dozens of times and really like it.

however, i'd freeze your bag of vermiculite for a day or two before using it. i've noticed tiny bugs in containers with vermiculite before.

I normally transfer the eggs to a container with pearlite and have never noticed the little flies or whatever they are in those containters, so i assume its from the vermiculite.
