Good that it is resolved…
It looks like we can move this thread to the “Healty Food” section of the forum ;-)
I don’t think those worms got in there while you were parked on LFEY 
Normally it takes months or years to get a complete blockage.
Blueline – do you use static port plugs and a pitot cover right after every landing?
This is why one would should use static plugs too !

Pitot cover yes (except for very short stays of half an hour or so), static port covers until now no.

Yes, that’s the lesson I learned from this episode. Although it seems know a natural thing, neither the training aircraft or any rented plane I have flown in the past had static port plugs. The ST10 also had none (we fabricated some on the spot yesterday). The pre-flight checklist requires a visual check of the ports, but this is obviously insufficient to detect such “nests” further up the lines.
