A small beetle with a long snout whose grubs feed inside seeds, nuts, grain and other plant parts.
Weevils belong to a very large family of beetles, and many of them are serious pests of crops and stored food. A weevil in a bag of flour or rice, or one that has bored into a nut, is a familiar household sight. The cotton boll weevil is the best known case, since it ruined harvests across the American South in the early twentieth century. Biscuits long stored on ships were once known for being full of them.
