No frass this year. I've been demoted to mold.

Then again, weevil-frass is rather fun to say.

Weevil-frass. Weevil-frass. Weevil-frass.

How cool is that, when your specific excrement interest and your O' Brian interest intersect!!

But really, weevil-frass in the biscuit-jar?? EEWW!

I actually came across this word while reading: "Stephen took a piece of biscuit, tapping it mechanically, brushed away the weevil-frass, and said..."

I first heard this word used when an exterminator was scouting out my carpenter ant infestation. I got the impression that it also includes sundry debris like bits of nesting material.

Glad to hear it! Man, you have a good memory. I'd have forgotten all about it by now.

Alas, the insect unit is actually in October, but I *will* be using this word tomorrow. :)

Ooo! I will use this when I teach my cricket unit in September. *That* is why it needs a name.

Yes, but let's be fair--it does *sound* better than "insect poop."

EEW. Why does insect poop need a word?!
