Psocids (Liposcelis spp.). These soft bodied insects have no larval state. The young resemble the adults and are smaller and paler in color. Psocids feed on a wide variety of organic matter, both of animal and plant origin. They do not actually damage grain, but are troublesome due to their presence. Eggs are laid on bags and on commodities (Figure 26).
