Alien:
Grain is usually stored without any precautions against insect attack, being generally heaped on the floor of a room or building which has not been prepared in any way since the removal of the previous crop. The same room is also often in use for other purposes. Grain also becomes infected while waiting loosely piled before threshing, and on the other threshing-floors. This and several other grain infesting species occur very commonly (Morris 1937); Common in stored grain (Georghiou 1977); cereal pest (Gözüaçık et al. 2015).
