Broad-horned Flour Beetle

Found globally in flour mills, bakeries, warehouses, and domestic pantries where grain products are stored.

Feed on flour, cornmeal, semolina, and cereal products, sometimes consuming other insects or their own eggs and larvae.

They are nocturnal and avoid light; males possess conspicuous horn-like mandibles used for sparring with other males for territory and mates.

A significant pest of stored food products that can cause economic loss through contamination; they do not bite or sting but render food unfit for consumption.
