The maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais), known in the United States as the greater rice weevil,[1][2] is a species of beetle in the family Curculionidae. It can be found in numerous tropical areas around the world, and in the United States, and is a major pest of maize.[3] This species attacks both standing crops and stored cereal products, including wheat, rice, sorghum,[4][5][6] oats, barley, rye, buckwheat,[6] peas, and cottonseed. The maize weevil also infests other types of stored, processed cereal products such as pasta, cassava,[5] and various coarse, milled grains. It has even been known to attack fruit while in storage, such as apples.[7]
