I found these bugs( insects or weevils), all around my window sill in the kitchen this morning. They seem clumsy and fall before they fly when you try to get at them.
CLOSED: What insect is this -Tropics , Mauritius
These are pea/bean 'weevils' (actually leaf beetles in the subfamily Bruchinae); their larvae infest whole seeds, mostly the legume family; some species can be very serious pests in that regard.
Thank you so much Flapdoodle. I went through all the sacks in my food pantry, they weren't in the potato flour, not in the maize flour, neither the wheat sacks nor the jasmine rice sack. I found them happily munching away in the small red bean sack (mexican red beans) .
I chucked the whole sack away and cleaned /vacuumed the whole pantry. I will keep a close eye on the rest of the store for the next couple of weeks just to make sure.
