Description
Oryzaephilus are famed for their resilience and adaptability, often found in stored grain or processed food products. Contrary to common fears, these creatures do not transmit diseases but instead indicate poor storage conditions. Particularly adept at exploiting human food sources, Oryzaephilus can thrive in various environments due to their fast reproductive cycles and developed resistance to many control methods. Their presence underscores the importance of rigorous food storage standards to prevent infestations.
