Insecticide ...
Many authors prefer to call them seed-beetles or bean beetles, because they are not true weevils, and because in most species, the larvae develop inside seeds, particularly beans. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Because Bruchinae was known as the family Bruchidae until the 1990s, [ 1 ] they are sometimes still called bruchid beetles.
