wheat weevil
The wheat weevil is a small insect that primarily infests stored grains, particularly wheat. Adult weevils are about 2.5 to 4 millimeters long and have a distinctive elongated snout. They lay their eggs inside the grains, and when the larvae hatch, they feed on the grain, causing damage and reducing its quality.
These pests are a significant concern for farmers and grain storage facilities, as they can lead to substantial economic losses. Effective control measures include proper storage techniques, regular inspections, and the use of insecticides when necessary to prevent infestations and protect stored grain products.
