Bean weevil

What is a "bean weevil"?

A bean weevil is a small insect that infests stored beans and other legumes. It has a dark brown or black body with distinct markings and can cause damage by feeding on the seeds, leading to reduced quality and germination rates. The adult weevils lay eggs on the surface of the beans, and the larvae develop inside, feeding on the inner contents. Effective storage practices and monitoring are necessary to prevent and control infestations of bean weevils.
