Broad-horned Flour Beetle
Gnatocerus cornutus
Adults inhabit dry stores of flour, grain, and processed cereal products, usually hiding within the food or nearby cracks. They feed on grain-derived material and are most active in sheltered, warm conditions. Males have greatly enlarged mandibles used to grapple with and lift rival males during contests.
