Facts

  • Adults are able to fly.
  • They can live for 4 to 5 months.
  • Females can lay about 4 eggs daily and up to 300 - 400 eggs over their lifetime.
  • Females lay the eggs inside the grain, where larva and pupa stages will occur. Once developed, the weevil bores its way out leaving a hole in the grain.
