Cath, These look similar to the larvae I raised to maturity and they were indeed weevils. Kim has suggested Oxyops fasciculatus. See Oxyops fasciculatus (A weevil)

Thanks Alison. I'd be interested to know what they looked like in the process. Did you take photos?

Sorry Alison, I missed that. I should have looked more carefully. It certainly looks like the same unpleasant sticky mess.
