A Bottle of nuts was left unattended by me for few days. when I opened its lid, it was full of tiny insects I just picked one of it and foldscoped it.
The pest was about 3-4 mm long and has a brown, flat body.

On each side of its body, it has six projections which are located just behind its head. It seems to be a grain beetle.
