Today, let's discuss the problem together.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of insects found in rice, one is gray, and some are like caterpillars, which will turn into pupae after a long time. In the end, it will become a small moth, which can fly everywhere. Therefore, if you find small moths at home, you should immediately check the rice bags and flour bags to see if there are any bugs.
There is another kind that looks a bit like a small beetle, with a gray-black body and protrusions on it, just like a small elephant straightening its nose. When you catch it, you can sometimes fly. This is the rice elephant.
But the problem is, the newly bought rice has passed the seal, why are there any bugs?
Because the main ingredients of rice and wheat flour are protein, tapioca starch, vitamins and many nutrients, it can be said that the nutrients are very rich and colorful. Not only has it become everyone's favorite ingredient, but bugs also like it.
Even if the packaging bag has been punctured, it will happen in rice. Therefore, there is no doubt that this insect occurs immediately in rice.
Although there are no bugs in the rice and flour that everyone just bought home, their eggs have long been hidden in it. This kind of egg cannot be found immediately with the naked eye. Once the conditions for storing food crops are getting colder and colder and the temperature is suitable, they will gradually ovulate. After they are born, they are surrounded by all kinds of nutritious food crops. Of course, they grow rapidly. Then they lay eggs again, multiply rapidly, and finally explode on a large scale, which is a terrible jump.
So when was this egg mixed with rice? Isn't today's rice solved by shelling and scraping equipment?
The fruit of rice is rice. After removing the machine shell, it becomes ordinary rice. Wheat flour comes from wheat. This kind of green plants are all in the suburbs, and it is inevitable that this kind of worms will lay eggs on them. However, it is impossible to sterilize rice and wheat, so the eggs have been mixed inside since then, but the timing is not perfect at this time, and it is not easy to ovulate rashly.
After that, this kind of rice and wheat is processed into rice, wheat flour and eggs, and then packed into packaging bags. If stored properly and placed in a ventilated and dry place, ovulation is not easy. But once the standard and temperature are right, they will ovulate and gradually eat and grow into nymphs.
After the nymph of the rice weevil breeds, the female rice weevil will bite a hole in the rice with her own mouth, then lay an egg in the hole, and then plug the hole, so that the rice with eggs will gradually achieve their great cause of reproduction.
Therefore, this insect can be said to have existed in food crops from the beginning. What everyone can do is to remember to put rice and flour in a ventilated and dry place and always open the inspection to prevent pests and diseases.
