It was apparently INSECTS INJURIOUS TO CEREALS 261 used for this purpose in the South, perhaps during the war, when the Spanish beetles were not obtainable. So far as the author is aware, however, the granary weevils are not generally used for that purpose at present. Cantharadin is a most dangerous and violent drug to take internally. It is quite possible that the finely ground bodies of the granary weevils, since they seem to possess much the same qualities as the Spanish flies, are also dang...erous when taken into the alimentary canal. In that case, flour containing the pulverized bodies of these insects might prove seriously injurious to persons eating it. Undoubtedly flour is often made from wheat that is badly infested with these weevils. THE RICE WEEVIL Calandra oryzae The rice weevil seems to have originated in India, whence it has spread to all parts of the world. Because it was first found in rice it has always been known as the rice weevil. It is undoubtedly the more important and more injurious weevil of the two in this country, although it may not be as widely distributed as the first one.
