  1. rice weevil

    A rice weevil is a type of insect which belongs to the beetle family Curculionidae, scientifically known as Sitophilus oryzae. This tiny insect is known for causing significant damage to stored cereal products such as rice, wheat, corn, oats, barley, and sorghum. Rice weevils are known to bore into grains to lay their eggs, which can cause major grain losses and decrease grain quality. Originating from South Asia, rice weevils have now spread worldwide. They are characterized by their elongated snouts and reddish-brown colored bodies that usually have four light-colored spots on the wing covers.
