Grain weevils are important to man primarily due to their impact on stored food supplies, particularly grains like wheat, corn, and rice. They can cause significant economic losses by infesting and damaging these food sources, leading to reduced quality and quantity. Additionally, understanding their Biology and behavior helps in developing effective pest management strategies, ensuring food security and safety. Their role in the ecosystem also highlights the balance between pest control and maintaining biodiversity.
a grain weevil is an insect which destroys and reduce the market value of grains.
YES! An adult female weevil will bore a hole in the rice grain, lay an egg inside and seal it. The egg will hatch and moult in the grain. When it becomes a weevil, it will emerge from the grain

The boll weevil is a beetle that has a drill like mouth that can drill into nuts and grains. this little thing will also be in cigars. If it doesn't drill into the grain, nut, etc it will excrete a acid that will soften the grain, nut, etc.This thing is extremely destructive to cotton plants.
A smart man always chooses the lesser of two weevil's. <><><> Good pun- but truly, a weevil is a type of insect- as in "The cotton crop was destroyed by the boll weevils." Or "The flour was infested with weevils."
Different weevils will have different primary food sources. Weevils like the boll weevil feed on cotton buds and flowers well the wheat weevil lays eggs which feast on the inside of grain kernels.
