Which of the insects destroys grains?

Answer Details
The insect that destroys grains is the weevil. Weevils are a type of beetle that lay their eggs inside grains such as rice, wheat, and corn. When the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the inside of the grain, causing damage and reducing the quality of the grain. Weevils are common pests in grain storage facilities, and can also infest grains in households if they are not properly stored in airtight containers. So, if you see small holes in your stored grains, or notice a fine powder in the package, there is a chance that they have been infested by weevils.
