he khapra beetle, also known as Trogoderma granarium Everts, is a destructive insect pest that poses a significant threat to stored grain products and other commodities.Its weak ability to fly makes it difficult to spread without human aid, making international movement of host commodities the only means of spreading it. The khapra beetle is a 'dirty feeder' and an external infesting pest, as it partially damages more grains than it requires.
