How do weevils get in the jar?

Huh? I wondered when I threw out some cornflour in a sealed jar.

I've seen Weevils in breadcrumbs, flour, pasta, rice, even in sealed plastic bags. Sometimes I see little holes drilled in the bags, is that entry holes. or Exit holes?

Do the Weevils get in there before packaging and drill their way out? Or do they eat their way in??

    the eggs are in lots of flour and time allows them to hatch.

    Weevils burrow their way in...that's why flour and suchlike should be kept in airtight containers.
