= Why is Sawtoothed Grain Beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis So Dangerous and Harmful Pest? Entomologist Dr Victor Fursov is showing the behaviour of sawtoothed Grain Beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis and telling about peculiarities of its biology. Oryzaephilus surinamensis, the sawtoothed grain beetle, is a beetle in the superfamily Cucujoidea. It is a common, worldwide pest of different grain (wheat, oat, rice, etc.) and grain products (flour, flakes, etc.) as well as chocolate, drugs, and tobacco. O. surinamensis is a slender, dark brown beetle 2.4–3 mm in size, with characteristic "teeth" running down the side of the prothorax. The beetle is one of the most commonly encounted stored product pests and is widespread within the food industry and can be found in food manufacturing, storage, and retail facilities, as well as in home pantries. A female can produce 43-285 eggs in their six to ten month average lifespan which are deposited on a food mass.The ideal temperature range for larvae development within eggs is about 27-29°C (80-85°F), under such conditions they hatch in three to five days. Larvae are yellow-white with brown heads and grow up to 3mm. They crawl freely around the food mass and feed on broken pieces of grain or grain kernels damaged by other insects, larger larvae may bore into kernals. Larvae pupate by constructing cocoon-like coverings using broken pieces of grain. Emergence as adults occurs after about one week. Adults can live on average six to ten...
