Now this one is bold. Bigger. Black with bright red lines on its back. Wait—red? Yes. But from a distance, it looks black and white. Trickery! They swarm in autumn, looking for warmth.
They smell like rancid cilantro when squished. Don’t squish them! Gently scoop them up with a dustpan. They’re just confused. They want your sunny window, not your soul.
The Weevil: The Tiny Elephant
Have you seen a bug with a long snout? That’s a weevil. Some are black and white—sneaky. They look like a grain of rice with legs. They love your pantry. Rice, flour, pasta—it’s a buffet.
Fun fact: Weevils are specialists. One type only eats wheat. Another only eats corn. They are very picky eaters. Better than your toddler, honestly.
