I've heard of weevils before but wild ones like the one on the acorn. It's strange to me that I have never seen these things in my life on rice until now. Not in the rice bags or jar my mom had, never in any food, and didn't even know this was a thing that happens with this bug. Either my mom did a good job of protecting me from these or were just now in the timeline where this is a normal thing and that's how it works here.

I learned what these guys were back when I was suddenly getting a bunch of them all over my apartment and had no idea where they were coming from.
Found out where when I went to put some old birdseed I'd gotten from a neighbor into a birdfeeder and those little guys had absolutely covered the feeder. Tossed the seed, sprayed everything down, and the rice weevil problem was gone practically overnight.

Imagine if your entire world was in a gigantic glass bottle filled with bigmacs that never went bad. You were born inside of a bigmac, you and everyone you know eat and live and hang out and grow together on the bigmacs. Eventually you have a kid and you shove it into a bigmac and they repeat the process
This is how McDonalds is planning their new McSociety

Ahh, I encounter these recently.
Always wonder how the hell did it get inside our rice jar.
I'm still puzzled though.
We bought a bag of rice from Costco and these critters didn't appear in the jar till months later.
Were there eggs inside the bag all along

Just had a 40lb bag of good sushi rice lost to these guys. But, they didn't know I have chickens who don't care if there are weevils in the rice. So I cooked it up and fed it to them with the weevel corpses in it. They loved it. I'd say we are even now, weevils.

I had a bag of flour infested with these one time. Seiving through about 2 cups of flour, I'd get like a teaspoon of larvae and a couple of weevils. It's quite bad. But I proceeded to make my bread anyway. Not gonna lie though, it tasted slightly better LOL

Wow what great timing. My rice was infested by weevils two days ago.
Enggak lagi deh beli beras pemerintah (bulog. Mungkin sebagian besar salahnya itu dari aku sih, ninggalin beras di kantong saat liburan semester, but still.

If you think this thing eats rice, you didn’t see them on cumin. I had this on my cumin container, the container simply created life. One day I open to use and cumin simply move all around, it was just full of this bug.

Rice weevils are rare, but if you do find some in your rice, soak the rice in water so they will come out from their hiding places. And then a couple more rinces will remove them. As for the larvae, well extra protein.

I noticed when I eat rice at times, I also poop green. Makes me wonder if the thousand of times I have turned my toilet bowl green it was my body detecting and letting me know that my rice was contaminated with this bug

Wow, I learned something! Always wondered how they appeared like magic! But up close they are actually quite cute. Just have to try beat them by eating rice faster than they can in less than 8 months I guess.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find that they can chew through plastic bags, as well as rice husks. Glass containers for rice it is, then. I love observing them outdoors in the 'wild', though.

If you store your rice in the freezer for at least 3 days, it freezes the eggs and kills the larva. That way you won't have to risk getting weevils crawling in your mouth!

I have seen these. If you wash your rice, they will be washed out majority of times. I am pretty sure I have eaten some in my life time, as I eat rice almost every single day.

As an Asian, that my friends is why, why you should always wash your rice before cooking. You have no idea what horrors are lurking underneath each grain.
