Answer 1

there called weevils

Grain Weevils
Weevils, or snout beetles, are characterized by a head elongated into a snout. Two species of this large family, the rice weevil and the granary weevil, are common pests of stored whole grain and may become pantry pests. The adults feed on the outside of grain kernels. The larvae are small, white, legless grubs that develop inside the kernel.

Granary weevil: This weevil is about 3/16 inch long and is chestnut brown to black. There are no wings under the wing covers, so it cannot fly. Both adults and larvae feed on a wide variety of grains. The adult female uses her mandibles to bore a small hole in a kernel, into which she lays an egg. The larva develops entirely inside the kernel. Developmental time from egg to adult is about four weeks.

Rice weevil: This weevil is almost 1/8 inch long, reddish-brown to nearly black and marked with four light red to yellow spots on the wing covers. Unlike the granary weevil, it has a second pair of wings under the wing covers and can fly. Its biology and habits are very similar to that of the granary weevil.

Weeble Bugs

Answer 3

Weevles.....not Weebles. Weebles Wobble but Weevles invade flour and grain products. It's a good idea to stick any bag of seed in the freezer overnight. That will kill any little buggies in there. You sometimes find moths in seed too. They aren't harmful but will invade your food as well. If it's seed that you have had for a while and it's infested....I would throw it out. But new bags....just freeze 'em before you open them.
