Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus) - (grain weevil)
This weevil is a common and serious pest of stored cereals with a world-wide distribution. It has been known in Europe as a storage pest for thousands of years.

Control is done by fumigation or controlled atmosphere (typically, low oxygen and high carbon dioxide).
The adult is around 4 mm long, dark reddish brown. It resembles Sitophilus oryzae and Sitophilus zeamais but is usually larger and the pronotum has spindle-shaped grooves, rather than small, round or oval punctures. In contrast to these 2 species, it is also unable to fly and spreads through infested grain.
