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.
Weevils on Stored Grain. A complex of weevils, the rice ( Sitophilus oryza ), granary ( Sitophilus granarius ), and maize ( Sitophilus zeamais ) weevils, are among the most destructive pests of grains, seeds, and grain products stored in elevators and bins. They probably are not native to North America, but entered in seeds carried by settlers through ports. These weevils are pests of grain throughout the world. DESCRIPTIONS.
