Cereal weevils are also beetles

Cereal weevils can be identified by their amusingly extended proboscis, but in fact, they are actually a kind of beetle. Wood weevils of different species and probosci's beetles are both members of the subfamily Curculionoidea. The cereal weevils' proboscis gives you the impression that they consume similarly to other beetles by sticking it in the flour and sucking it in. The cereal weevil has jaw muscles that allow it to chew food, just like all other beetles do.


Cereal weevils are well-known warehouse pests that frequently contaminate and harm uncooked food eaten in residences or commercial settings. In homes and places of work including restaurants, grocery stores, and food processing facilities, this mite poses a health risk. They can cause huge economic losses through damage and contamination of food products.
