Khapra beetle
species of insect
The Khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium), which originated in South Asia, is one of the world’s most destructive pests of grain products and seeds.[1] It is considered one of the 100 worst invasive species in the world.[2] Infestations are difficult to control because of the insect's ability to survive without food for long periods, its preference for dry conditions and low-moisture food, and its resistance to many insecticides.[2] There is a federal quarantine restricting the importation of rice into the U.S,. from countries with known infestations of the beetle.[3]
