Thank you so much! Based on where they were found in the building, any of these could be the source. Thanks again for your speedy assistance! -Megan -----Original Message----- From: pestlist-ow...@museumpests.net [mailto:pestlist-ow...@museumpests.net] On Behalf Of Tony Irwin Sent: Friday, May 27, 2016 1:11 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [pestlist] Please help!

They may be breeding indoors in pot plants, or in soil outside, or in rotting wood. They do breed in fungi as well! No threat to your collections, excepting as food for Anthrenus. It's possible they may be attracted to lights at night, and are entering through an open window. Tony.

I am not sure how nervous I should be about them! This particular trap is near an exterior door, but there were 47 of these flying insects on this one trap alone. I am familiar with springtails, and we tend to see surges of them this time of the year, but I have not seen these insects in such high numbers before. Please help!
