weevilly
Crawling with beetles
Weevilly means infested with or damaged by weevils—small beetles that bore into grain, nuts, and other stored foods.
Flour or rice that has sat too long may become weevilly, riddled with the insects or their larvae: The weevilly hardtack was all they had left to eat.
Also spelled weevily.
