    Is this a Weevil?

    Being a city slicker, I'm not sure.
    I've done a bit of photoshopping to obscure the company, but the pic is real enough.
    I told my daughter that they hang around with a whole lot of mates
    so there could be more We probably would'nt have known if she took a bigger bite.
    Dunno how it could have survived the milling/baking process. Maybe came along later??

    Nah, I don't like the stuff, just sit there & watch them eat it. Put her off for about 48 hours.
    Crunchy at a guess tho

    Nah - I mean the Maccas - what does that taste like?

    That is definitely a weevil - and they taste delicious - I had a very good one with a Yiros side recently.

    Looks like a weevil.

    Any bag of (ground) flour will hatch weevils if left in hot weather for long enough (many people keep flour in the fridge/freezer for that reason). So if it hatched in the flour then was mixed and baked...

    If you were in the US you would be rich now...

    I cart grain every day,from graincorp depots and farms,and that to me is not a weevil ,its too fat,weevil are more slender that and are gray in color....that to me is a beetle of some kind....put it this way ,I have never seen a weevil that size...then again it may be from overseas......

    Nope.
    Weevils are thinner, longer and have a grey/brown colour....... and a long nose.





    That one looks more like a dung beetle....

    No, seriously though, more like a black lawn beetle.

    nope just a plain old beetle. wrong legs, wrong colour no texture on the thorax


    A wevil. The colouration changes between the various breeds but the shape of the thorax and the legs is more or less the same.

    Id suggest yours is a relative to the black beetle
