Lena,

It looks kind of like a phorid fly.  They sometimes appear in janitor's closets 
around mop buckets and/or standing water in floor drains.  From what I know, I 
don't think they are considered threats to museum objects, other than they 
themselves becoming a food source for other problem insects.

Hi all,

One of my interns found this bug in a box of textiles. (see attached photos)  
I’m guessing it is a type of gnat (?) and thus just by-catch. I just wanted to 
make sure since it is not one that I had seen before.

Thanks!

Lena
