Answer
Tanu,

This looks like a weevil, probably one of the grain weevil species. They infest whole grains like corn, wheat or rice. Check all sources of grains, sometimes corn seeds are used in "bean" bags so check these as well. The weevils are harmless except for damage to whole grains. Once the source is found discard infested seeds and general cleaning is all that's needed.
