Rice Weevil

Found worldwide in stored grain facilities, pantries, and food processing plants.

Stored whole grains including rice, wheat, corn, beans, and occasionally birdseed or dry pasta.

Adults can fly and are attracted to light. Females chew holes into grain kernels to lay eggs, and the larvae develop entirely inside the grain.

Significant economic pest that ruins stored food products; however, they pose no direct health risk or physical danger to humans or pets.
