The rice weevil is a small insect belonging to the family Curculionidae. It is known for its ability to infest stored grains, particularly rice, wheat, and corn. Adult rice weevils are about 2 to 3 millimeters long and have a distinctive elongated snout. They are typically dark brown or black with reddish-brown markings. These pests lay their eggs inside grains, and when the larvae hatch, they feed on the grain, causing damage. Rice weevils can reproduce quickly, making them a common problem in homes and warehouses where grains are stored. Effective control methods include proper storage and regular inspection of food supplies.
