Lasioderma serricorn

Cigarette Beetle, Lasioderma serricorne
Cigarette Beetle Lasioderma serricorne is more commonly known as Tobacco beetle. It is a pest of tobacco, both in the refined cigarette or raw tobacco sources. It is also a minor pest of dried fruits, cereals, oilseeds and flour. The cigarette beetle is a common warehouse pest in both tropical and temperate countries. The cigarette beetle is pan-tropical but can be found worldwide - especially wherever dried tobacco stored in the form of leaves, cigars, cigarettes, or chewing tobacco.


Biology of Cigarette Beetle, Lasioderma serricorne

Adult cigarette beetles are yellowish- to reddish-brown, body covered with small hairs, oval-shaped, and about 1-2 mm long. The female beetle lays egg on or near the food supply. Mature female lays up to 90-100 eggs loosely. The larvae are creamy white except for the yellow head and brown mouthparts. Newly hatched larvae are very active and bore into the stored product, feeding as they grow. Eggs hatch in 5-7 days. Larvae become fully grown with 40-42 days. The entire life cycle can be completed in 50-55 days, and there may be 3-6 generations a year in tropical climate and only one generation in temperate climate. Adults are strong fliers, fly at night and are attracted to light.
