Oryzaephilus Surinamensis
''Oryzaephilus surinamensis'', the sawtoothed grain beetle, is a beetle in the superfamily ''Cucujoidea''. It is a common, worldwide pest of grain and grain products as well as chocolate, drugs, and tobacco. The species's binomial name, meaning "rice-lover from Suriname," was coined by Carl Linnaeus, who received specimens of the beetle from Surinam. It is also known as the malt beetle and may be referenced in the poem This Is The House That Jack Built in the line "....the rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built" the malt referenced may not be actual malted grain but a sawtoothed grain beetle. Description and Identification ''O. surinamensis'' is a slender, dark brown beetle 2.4–3 mm in size, with characteristic "teeth" running down the side of the prothorax. It is nearly identical to '' Oryzaephilus mercator'', or the Merchant Grain Beetle, however, ''O. surinamensis'' has smaller eyes and a broader, more triangular head; ''O. surinamensis'' unlike ''O ...

Oryzaephilus Mercator
''Oryzaephilus mercator'', the merchant grain beetle, is a small, flattened beetle about 2.5mm in length. It is a common, worldwide pest of grain and grain products as well as fruit, chocolate, drugs, and tobacco. The biology of ''O. mercator'' is nearly identical with ''Oryzaephilus surinamensis'' (the sawtooth grain beetle). It can be differentiated from ''O. surinamensis'' by its larger eyes and by the shape of the head, the area just behind the eyes of ''O. mercator'' is narrower than that of ''O. surinamensis'', which has a more triangular shaped head. Unlike ''O. surinamensis'', adults are capable of flight. Life cycle Females produce from 500 to 1000 eggs in a year which are deposited within a food source. The larvae are yellowish-white with a brown head and can reach a length of up to 3mm, larvae are active and move about through a food source as they feed. Larvae molt In biology, moulting (British English), or molting (American English), also known as sloughing, sheddi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
