This is most likely a dumb question, but if we caught the queen, does that mean 
the colony is most likely inside the building? Has anyone had experience 
dealing with carpenter ant colonies? Our building was built in 1896, so there 
is a lot of old, moist wood for them to live in. I am just trying to figure out 
what steps to take next. Please e-mail me with suggestions - here is my e-mail, 
so I don't bog down the listserv: megan.jablon...@navy.mil

2 ants. Large one looks like a de-alate queen carpenter ant. Maybe the small 
one is a pavement ant (2-node), but not sure, could be something else. Need a 
better view of it. The moth is a clothes moth (tineid).

Hello everyone,

I found a couple disconcerting pests today. I have my suspicions about what 
they might be, but I'd like confirmation before I decide what actions to take.

I'd agree with Louis. Moth looks like the webbing clothes moth. Small ant is 
likely a pavement ant; would be good to get a clearer shot of the head.

Hello Megan,

The first image looks like a couple ants, likely an accidental visitor 
but check for pest access points if you're seeing multiples. If there's food in 
the area that might be what attracted them. The second image looks like a 
clothes moth, but certainly others may correct me on that.

Dear all,
the scale on the picture is half a milimeter, which means the insects are 1,5 
mm long.

Betreff: AW: [pestlist] Please help me with ID of insect

Dear all,

I have open the frame and have now microscope images of the insects. I am quite 
sure, that Tony and Louis were right that these insects are thrips 
(Thysanoptera).
Because I found something that could be feeding tracks (see second picture) I 
am not sure what to do. I would clean the frame, the aquarelle and the 
passe-partout. Should I also treat the object with nitrogen?
What would you recommend??
Thanks for your help
Johanna

Hello Joanna,

It is difficult to identify a pest from the damage.  If possible, get a 
close-up image of the critter.  It will also help if you can give us an idea of 
the scale?  Measure it if possible.  Sorry that I cannot be of more help at 
this point.

Hello Johanna,
Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to 
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a 
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very 
reasonable price.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QLYPMZW?psc=1
Good luck!

Best,
Jessica

Dear Rich,
attached some more pictures. Have you any ideas?
The insects move, that means they are alive and they are very small (2mm). But 
we will open the pictureframe anyway to get a further view on the problem.
Thanks
