did you also find a bigger one in the burger as well? If so, the one in the pic is the "lesser of two weevils."

It's gotta be a good joke when it's repeated 3 times! :D
"The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and weevil"
Cicero
On the original question - Weevils have extended head (see multitude of previously attached photos) compared to most beetles. I can't see the head, can't comment. Never saw a red one in a bag of flour, though.
I grew up in Papua New Guinea where every bag of flour has had plenty of warmth and humidity to breed up weevils. I thought flour was strained purely to remove weevils.:angel:
The thing that says "not a weevil" to me, is the defined elytra (wing covers) in the original pic.
Although they do have them (despite the grain weevil not having wings to cover), you don't see them on the average weevil.
Are the Weevils better at hungry jacks?Quote:

Probably came in with the lettuce or a bug that has eaten its way into the bun from outside. I would say not a weevil. Used to be a baker once and saw plenty of them.
If it had been a weevil in flour and had been baked you would see that it was encrusted in dough and possibly flour.
Either way, a bug that was able to get inside the lettuce or bun suggests that food has been left out of storage from an extended period, so the place is not clean and I'd not be back.
should read all the posts.:DQuote:
