“…The affinity of this pest to stored corn is well-defined, but it has been regularly found in a wide variety of stored products (Krall & Decker, 1946;Dunkel et al,1982) and some man-made habitats, for instance: wheat, barley, oats, sorghum, rice, soybeans, different types of flour, dried fruits, nuts, tobacco, crops in field, crop residues (e. g. cotton gin trash piles, waste grain, mill waste, cutted grass), potatoes (rotten), pulpwood, animal feed, poultry houses and other domestic animal areas, dead animals, animal manure, compost, worm beds, farm grain bins, grain elevators, flour mills, greenhouses, peanut warehouses, railroad cars, bakeries, retail stores, mausoleums, human residences, etc. (Hatch, 1940;Krall & Decker, 1946;Barak et al, 1981;Dunkel et al, 1982;Semple, 1986;Dunford & Young, 2004;Reibnitz & Schawaller, 2006;Nansen et al, 2008;Hagstrum et al, 2013;Hong & Yun, 2017;Kadej et al, 2019;Pütz, 2020;GBIF, 2022). Furthermore, larvae are also able to digest a very wide range of foods supported by proteinases from serine, cysteine and aspartic classes (Oppert et al, 2006).…”
