Wheat weevil

The grain weevil is a small beetle that thrives in stored cereal grains, causing trouble in farms and food storage worldwide. These insects sneak into grain supplies, where their larvae grow by munching on the insides of kernels.

• Females lay eggs inside grain kernels, hiding their young safely inside.
• Larvae develop entirely within a single grain, eating it from the inside out.
• They are a major pest, often reducing stored grain to useless husks.
