Popular Post JetsetBkk Posted October 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2015 ^^^ mm extra protein .. just add some nam prik pla yummy The rice was being left out in the sun for a few hours to get hot. Apparently, the weevils don't like it (getting hot or UV light?) and come out of the rice. The rice was then cooked and mixed with left over chicken bits and fed to the mountain dogs at the top of Toe Sae Hill in Phuket. They wolfed it down. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mousehound Posted October 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2015 Rice weevils on uncooked grains of rice - a bit too small for my pocket camera. I don't know what the very small brown bugs were - baby weevils? Rice Weevils IMG_4434.JPG The rice weevil Sitophilus orizae (3mm) is very well studied as it is one of the most destructive pests of stored grains. The female can lay up to 400 eggs in her 4 month life. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TP1 Posted October 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2015 Just now, I found a huge snake in my kitchen. Jumped in terror on the kitchen table but then realised, he/she was quite friendly. So took some photos and then took it out in the garden. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tolsti Posted October 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2015 On my garden inspection of the new condo I am working at today I found that one of the newly installed palms had lost its crown in a short rain downpour earlier. I called the landscaping team and they were delighted to find..... Adult red palm weevil and a couple of larvae (sometimes call sago grubs) The workers got stuck in ripping the fronds apart and soon had loads of cocoons Here is another grub alongside one which has nearly go to adulthood. The gardeners were very happy.... extra protein for them tonight and I get a new palm tomorrow. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samuijimmy Posted October 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Tolsti.... these bugs are not good! ..... Red weevil Beetle, definitely not good, they almost wiped out the coconut palms on Samui and Koh Phangan a few years back....they used Pheromone traps to catch the males... It is a problem in other countries too, I would suggest calling your local Agricultural dept.... Nature is not always good! It could be devastating if allowed to spread... in your area.... Don't rely on them being eaten! (seriously) !!! Edited October 27, 2015 by samuijimmy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! They are quite harmless - and as they eat mosquitos, who knows, they may save you from that most deadly of all creatures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
