The major type of beetle most residents in Australia are accustomed to or know about is the ladybug.
However, weevils are the most populous beetle in Australia. Most people tend to classify such pests under the name “insects”. In contrast, they are quite different and might not be causing physical harm to you or your loved ones but, more likely, to your properties, especially as commercial work concerning foods.
Australia has been shown to house various species of weevils: Botany Bay Weevil, Elephant Weevil, Black Vine Weevil, and several other ones.
Everything you need to know about weevils
one or more distinguishing characteristics can recognize every bug or insect, and for weevils, they are more times than a few misidentified with cockroaches.
Even with their similitude to various bugs and insects, you can identify them by their wings. They have two pairs of wings located at their front and rear, respectively, with the frontal wings covering up the rear wings.
Normally, weevils would be found to live on or around; the soil, animal remains, muddy areas etc.
However, during winter seasons, they are then found to move into buildings and are located in places like sofas, couches, beds, carpets etc., while staying close to sufficient food sources like fruits, grains, seeds etc.
It is not necessarily easy to spot weevil eggs, so you might not be able to predict an infestation before it occurs.
While they are not necessarily dangerous to humans, they are nuisances and can render ample packages of food inedible, as well as how unsightly they are when they infest homes in their great numbers because of their high speed of reproduction.
