A storage pest is an insect or other animal that damages or destroys stored food or other stored valuable organic matter.[1] Insects are a large proportion of storage pests with each type of crop having specific insects that gravitate towards them such as the genus Tribolium that consists of insects such as Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle) or Tribolium confusum (confused flour beetle) which damage flour crops primarily.[2][3]
