What are the bugs in flour? There are very small bugs in the flour, what kind of bugs are they?

In the discipline of grain storage, the pests that breed in flour and other grains are called grain storage pests, there are hundreds of species, but there are more than 40 common ones, which are divided into:

1. Coleoptera (beetles). Red grain thief, miscellaneous grain thief, corn elephant, rice elephant, large grain thief, mealworm, black mealworm, black fungus worm, grain beetle, bamboo beetle, spine-chested tail beetle, sawgrain thief, long-horned valley thief.

2. Lepidoptera (moths). Wheat moth, Indian grain moth, little grain moth, corn borer, etc.

In addition, some will also consider mites and book lice as stored grain pests.

This is: book lice, which will eat all kinds of organic matter, usually more under bookcases, wardrobes, and carpets, and will eat paper books, cotton and linen fabrics, and will also eat food.

The insects in this flour are called weevils, and the reason why they appear is because the eggs of these insects have attached their secretions to the wheat during the harvesting of wheat.

Hello, flour worms are also called beetles.

There are more than 40 kinds of stored grain pests, which often appear in flour, and also look at the infected pests**, but there are generally the following three categories.

1. Lepidoptera (moths). 2. Coleoptera (beetle), red grain thief, miscellaneous grain thief, corn elephant, sawgrain thief, large grain thief, spine spine, tobacco beetle, black beetle, rice elephant, mealworm, black fungus, etc.

3. Mites.

There are more than 100 species, 1 long, more than 20 kinds of beetles, red grain thief, miscellaneous grain thief, corn elephant, saw grain thief, grain beetle, bamboo beetle, naked spider beetle, tobacco beetle, medicinal herb beetle, grain elephant, rice elephant, spine chest and tail beetle, ---

2. Moth larvae (maggots), about 10 species. Larvae of moths such as wheat moth, Indian grain moth, little grain moth, pink spotted borer, etc.

3. Book lice, etc.

4. Mites.

The first reason may be the presence of eggs in raw wheat. In the process of grinding wheat into flour, there is a collision process, which can make the adults in the wheat be crushed and killed. However, the eggs carried by the wheat (mainly in the embryo) do not die, and they will then enter the flour and hatch into larvae under the right conditions.

The main reason for the insects in the flour is that the flour raw materials contain insect eggs, the processing plant equipment is not clean, the storage is improper, the raw wheat is stored and transported in the process of insects, and the processed factory equipment is mixed into the flour after processing, and the old corners of the processing plant equipment are easy to grow insects, and the flour is stored in the flour when it is damp and not sealed, and it is easy to be polluted by pests.

Flour insects are insects that contain eggs in raw wheat, which usually enter the wheat during processing, storage, and transportation.

Collectively known as grain pests, they can be divided into two categories: moths and beetles, small in size and hidden, and the eggs in the flour raw materials will grow into pests when the ambient temperature and humidity are suitable.

The second reason may be that there are insect sources in warehouses, supermarkets, kitchens, etc., which lay eggs in the flour, making the flour "wormed". For example, if other food products in the supermarket have worms, the adults may go to the flour house next to them to "string the door", causing the flour to become worms.

The third reason may be that the flour was infected with insect eggs during transportation. However, this probability is relatively small, because now flour is mainly transported by cold chain, and under the action of low temperature, it is not easy for insect eggs to survive.

It's okay to eat the larvae and eggs.

Sometimes, just after eating a bowl of hand-rolled noodles made by myself, I found a bug at the bottom of the bowl. So I began to worry: will it be okay to eat the larvae and invisible eggs in the flour?

Experts say there is no need to worry about this situation, because the eggs do not carry bacteria and are harmless to humans, as do the larvae.

Almost all of the grain storage pests that breed flour are common, and more than 40 species commonly grow in flour, which can be divided into four categories, beetles (Coleoptera) grain storage pests, corn elephants, red grain thieves, miscellaneous grain thieves, saw grain thieves, grain beetles, and tobacco beetles.

, Herb A, Rice Elephant, Great Valley Thief, Grain Elephant, Mealworm, Mealworm.

, black fungus, etc.

Moths Lepidoptera), wheat moths, Indian grain moths, little grain moths, pink spotted borers, etc.

Rodents, book lice.

Mites, people are also listed in the insects, and the damage is also very serious. dust mites, etc.

Everyone knows that flour can make it delicious, but did you know that in addition to being delicious, flour can also play a variety of other skills in life?

Sometimes flour will produce insects in the summer, and now commercial flour generally does not produce insects (and bottled soy sauce, which no longer grows mold). If there is a sieve, sieve it to remove the insects, but usually the flour has a sour taste at this time, and it will not taste so good. If the quantity is small, throw it away; If there are many of them, they should be eaten quickly, or worms will grow if they are sifted out.

You're talking about the Red Valley Thief.

Chijin sent the Pseudo-Gu Pirate as an insect of the Coleoptera, the Pseudo-Foot Carapace. It is distributed in most provinces and regions of China, tropical and warmer regions of the world. It mainly harms flour and is parasitic on wheat, corn, rice, sorghum, oilseeds, dried fruits, beans, Chinese medicinal materials, raw medicinal materials, ginger, dried fish, dried meat, leather, silkworm cocoons, tobacco leaves, Kunhao wax insect specimens, etc.

The main Euslip is harmful to flour, the insect has odorous glands that secrete odorous fluid, which makes the flour have a musty smell, and its secretions also contain carcinogens benzoquinone.
