For other uses, see Weevil (disambiguation) . A weevil is a type of beetle from the Curculionoidea superfamily. They are usually small, less than 6 mm (0.24 in), and herbivorous. Over 60,000 species are in several families, mostly in the family Curculionidae (the true weevils).eevils are often found in warm-weather areas, but do survive in colder areas if they have already infested the food. Weevils are often found in dry foods including nuts, seeds, cereal, and grain products, such as pancake mix.
Unfortunately, grain weevils (Sitophilus granarius, also called granary weevils or wheat weevils) can chew through paper and plastic packaging. That's how they got out of the bag of wheatberries you see above and into the rest of the kitchen. But how did the weevils get there in the first place? You may want to skip this part if you're squeamish but we think it's actually quite fascinating ... A female weevil lays an egg inside a grain kernel. (She can do this up to 254 times!)
