MrKioFlow Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hello, I am new to this roach forum, and I just recently began to nurture a Dubia Roach colony. Bought a couple from a guy on craigslist, and i just recently had my first female give birth- What an exciting event! Anyway, I was routinely cleaning up their bin and adding fresh food, when i noticed a little scuttling around, and to my closer inspection i saw it was not a roach but some other small insect. I was mortified, mainly due to my investment already being contaminated and I not knowing what it was. My question is, can anyone identify it/tell me if its worth noting? As soon as i saw it i immediately scrubbed my bin and transferred all the roaches over to start fresh. I took a few pictures of the bug just in case. The images are in an Imgur album since they are too large for this forum. Thanks again. http://imgur.com/a/DPMYe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That looks like a granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius. It feeds on grains so not a pleasant bug to have in your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosey Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 not a huge deal, kick it out of the roach bin and put it outdoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Or keep it as a tiny pet (just make sure it cant escape). But yes, it is a tiny weevil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
