Maybe eggs that hatched? I see we're getting a lot of boweevils this year. If I remember right,these are like a dark & orange striped lil buggers. They keep flying into the house in the evening.
Picture?
Grain weevils are extremely common. Freeze grain for 24 hrs to kill them. Don't worry, they improve the beer. Might not want to make it public though.

Weevil Wit.......might not catch on!!!!!!
If you can catch them by hand, you should always try to get the smaller ones first.
I'm assuming everyone know why.

BTW, here's an experiment I did a little while ago regarding these critters:

Good experiment. We didn't have time for that and ours weren't that big. Now how did you sift the dead bugs from the grain?
You don't remove the bugs.
