2 is a Liposcelis species
9 is a Dorypteryx species
(both booklice, as others have pointed out, but note that Liposcelis are much 
more destructive than Dorypteryx)
10 appears to be Anthrenus (carpet beetle), but not enough detail to say which 
species. Might well be the adult of the larvae in 1 and 7.

Hello,

Could someone help ID these insects and arthropods please. The photos are not 
the greatest, but it’s what our equipment allows.

Image 1 -  Size = 2 mm
Image 2 –  Size = 1 mm
Image 3 - Size = 7 mm
Image 4 - Size = 1 mm
Image 5 - Size = 2 mm
Image 6 - Size = 1 mm
Image 7 – Size = 1 mm
Image 8 – Size = 5 mm
Image 9 – Size = 1 mm
Image 10 - Size = 2 mm

Thank you very much for your help.

Here are some informed guesses, but I'm not a specialist by any stretch!
Good Luck.

I concur with Joel - 2 and 9 are book lice.  4 is some sort of hunting
spider.  Not damaging to collections, but an indicator of infestation.

Lynsey,

Millipedes sometimes have irregular "migrations" where they can enter buildings 
in large numbers. I'm not sure if we understand why. Try correcting any damp 
situations outside (e.g., mulch or leaf litter next to the building), seal 
cracks, and, if possible, keep an 18- to 36-inch vegetation-free zone around 
the building.

Hi there,

One of the properties we manage is experiencing a problem with what appear to 
be millipedes - please see first image attached. I'm not sure that they are 
considered a museum pest, but believe that they are an indication of damp 
(which we're already aware of). Can anyone provide any other advice on why we 
may be seeing a sudden influx of these?

Additionally, another insect has been spotted that we can't identify (second 
image). Does anyone recognise this?

Many thanks,


Lynsey

may be seeing a sudden influx of these?

Additionally, another insect has been spotted that we can't identify (second 
image). Does anyone recognise this?

Many thanks,

Hi Lindsey
Your second insect appears to be a silverfish (*Lepisma saccharina*) or
close relative. If the property you mention is coastal, this could be one
of the "rock-brats", *Petrobius, *which are a bit more substantial than
silverfish. *Petrobius *sh*o*uldn't be a problem (other than indicating
poor sealing of the building), but silverfish can be damaging to paper and
other artefacts.

Lynsey,

Millipedes sometimes have irregular “migrations” where they can enter buildings 
in large numbers. I’m not sure if we understand why. Try correcting any damp 
situations outside (e.g., mulch or leaf litter next to the building), seal 
cracks, and, if possible, keep an 18- to 36-inch vegetation-free zone around 
the building.

Hi there,

One of the properties we manage is experiencing a problem with what appear to 
be millipedes – please see first image attached. I’m not sure that they are 
considered a museum pest, but believe that they are an indication of damp 
(which we’re already aware of). Can anyone provide any other advice on why we 
may be seeing a sudden influx of these?

Additionally, another insect has been spotted that we can’t identify (second

I can't see this is *Plodia *or *Ephestia*. It resembles  the European

N.America).

Can anyone help me ID this tiny insect? They are crowding around doors that

Disgusting? That's all in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure the dermestids 
found it quite lovely. Now, were any adult beetles present? Perhaps, they've 
all dispersed to enjoy other items in the collection. Hope not. 

Even if we could provide a precise name, that would not necessarily help with 
assigning a geographic source. Many of the dermestids have achieved worldwide 
distribution, thanks to us shipping them around the globe. I'd recommend you 
monitor other items, inspecting them frequently and checking glue traps. 
Good luck!

No live ones.  Truly disgusting, with at least 1 cup of skins and digested felt 
powder.  But I was wondering if the infestation occurred before or after 
collection in Japan, if the beetles hitched a ride.

Thanks!

Hello,

Seconding Richard on dermestid.  They remind me of a Buffalo, or common, Carpet 
beetle larvae (a worldwide dermistid), however, again as Richard stated, purely 
academic to determine an exact species.  

Certainly is possible the infestation was prior to coming to you.  How long ago 
was it brought into your institution?  Was the container it came in sealed up?  
It would be cause for concern if the object sat on a shelf for some time, near 
other potential food sources for dermestids.  Were there other objects that 
came with the instrument?  

Best,
Mat

No live ones.  Truly disgusting, with at least 1 cup of skins and digested felt 
powder.  But I was wondering if the infestation occurred before or after 
collection in Japan, if the beetles hitched a ride.

Thanks!

Re: [pestlist] Pest ID Request

[Pollack, Richard J]

I'd like to see a close up image of the wing. It seems consistent with a phorid 
or 'scuttle' fly. If so, it may have emerged from a waste pipe (hopefully not a 
broken one). It could also have derived from the carcass of an animal.

Is anyone able to ID this pest?  We are having an issue with these small flying

Hi Jerry,

As others have said it's one of the Carpet beetle species. From what I can make 
out from the image I think we are looking at the Asian Carpet beetle, Anthrenus 
coloratus. It is pretty similar in its habits and biology to the Varied carpet 
beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, so, the same precautions and treatments should be 
applied if warranted. It's certainly a species that you should be aware of, 
monitoring for and controlling if necessary.

All the best,

How interesting! I mean - it's not great that we have them...but so amazing
how they have a spring apparatus to propel themselves! It makes sense now
how they were jumping so much when discovered. After reading the fact sheet
on them on the museumpests.net website, it is also starting to make sense
why they might be in these boxes and will lead us to the root of the
problem (which I imagine will be an RH issue at the offsite storage
facility where these boxes came from).

Many, many thanks Lynn and Louis!

Best,
Crista

This is a collembolan or commonly known as a springtail The furcular on the

Hello,

This morning the following four pests were caught in an Archives processing 
area, on someone's desk. They suspect that they came out of a box of documents 
that were being processed, but are not certain. There are also boxes nearby 
from recent supply shipments.

The pests were caught with pieces of scotch tape and, as a result, are slightly 
mangled. They range in size from 2mm - 3mm.

I know they're pretty smashed, but I was hoping some components that are 
visible might provide clues to what they are?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Dear Tamar,

Thank you for your question, I went to check back to my files and found no 
reasons to wonder as feather if I am not wrong are mainly Keratin based.
As Keratin is clearly a good part of furs as well, I will definitely see no 
reasons why it should be acceptable on furs and not on feather.
If I understood correctly, we are talking about backing inside and in no 
circumstances powdering the outside of the skins or feathers.
Your concern of drying may be more related to general RH fluctuation stress 
rather than the root causes of using borax, but it is certainly worth looking 
further.
You may want to check this ref : The organic chemistry of museum objects, 
John S. Mills  Raymond White, Butterworths, 1987, London.

 Hi David,
 
 There is a belief  (I don't know of any empirical evidence) among bird 
 preparators that borax causes feather discoloration over long periods of 
 time, so I have always avoided it.

 You may as well mix corn meal with borax, it make sense and help buffering RH 
 as well as keeping pest under control.

 It certainly looks like the larval form of R. vespulae .  Do you use 
 cornmeal in preparing your skins?  This is an attractant for grain beetles 
 as well. At my former museum we were able to significantly reduce our 
 infestations by eliminating the use of corn meal.  I believe our preparatory 
 used borax instead – but would have to check on that detail.
 
  
 Nice photo by the way.

 Greetings,
 
 A few years ago I had an infestation of Reesa vespulae in my cornmeal (all 
 adults).  Today I found this (live) larva in the bird skin teaching 
 collection.  
 
 http://www.humboldt.edu/wildmuseum/larva.html
 
 Is this also a Reesa?
 
 Many thanks!

You may as well mix corn meal with borax, it make sense and help buffering RH 
as well as keeping pest under control.

Hi All, I was hoping someone might be able to help in identifying the insect in 
the attached images.  There were two of these (both in unfortunately awkward 
positions) caught on a blunder trap in a corner next to a pipe passing up 
through the floor and along the wall.  This space has high humidity, with known 
populations of silverfish and psocids. Any information would be appreciated!

I'll have to look up species, but at least you should know that it is a 
booklouse, and one with wings; not the common liposcelid with enlarged hind

It is a winged psocid. Some insect species in the order Psocotera lose their 
wings as adults, others do not.

Insley -

The basement from which these items came had an infestation of subterranean 
termites.  Once they were removed from the basement, that was the end of the 
activity.  You're left with damage and lots of soil.  Termites wall themselves 
off in humidity-controlled chambers and tubes by glueing soil grains together.  
The workers make trips back and forth to the soil to bring soil grains up to 
their workings.  This situation is NOT active and there is no cause for doing 
any treatment, except of course, cleaning the materials.

Hello,
I just started work at a very small museum with archival collections.  When I 
arrived, I came across an accession which was previously stored in the basement 
of a large wooden structure (by the donor), and is/was? clearly infested with 
some sort of insect.  This infestation and the ensuing damage occurred prior to 
the museum taking custody of the records.  I am wondering if someone can tell 
me from the photos what I am dealing with?

What I believe is frass, appears as brown specks, which are adhered to the 
paper, but there is also granular, sand-like material in the envelopes in which 
the material is stored.

It's difficult to tell if this is all frass or if the material is just really 
dirty, which is also possible.

It is also hard for me to tell what might be frass and what might be eggs.  
I've found a few specks which appear to have web-like material attached and in 
the interior fold of one item, spider-web-like material.

I've also found what appear to be shells/exoskeletons shed by insects, or 
possibly merely the remnants of dead insects.  Unfortunately, my camera doesn't 
have a high enough resolution to get a good picture of this.

I'm trying to figure out first what I am dealing with so that I can then decide 
how to treat the materials.  I'm an archivist by training and this is my first 
time dealing with any major pest issue.

I stumbled upon a powerpoint of insect frass online and the closest thing I 
could find was termites, since they excrete dirt as well as whatever else they 
are munching on.  Is it possible that this is termite damage?

I'm attaching some photos.  Sorry for the poor quality!

Thank you for any assistance you can provide!
Insley

 I'm attaching some photos.  Sorry for the poor quality!
 
 Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

Nice shots of the dermestid beetle, a female Thylodrias contractus. Male looks very different with slender body, elongate antennal segments, divergent elytra, long legs. Larvae have flattened setal hairs along abdominal sclerites.

Our Photo Archivist noticed this guy crawling on her desk after moving a box of folders with photograph prints in them.

How many legs? It is difficult to see on your photo. Ticks would have
eight legs.

Dear list-

Can anyone help me identify this bug from a sticky trap? I don't
recognize it as one of the usual suspects - book lice are my main catch.
It is tiny and looks like dust to the naked eye but under a microscope
it looks somewhat like a tick. It measures .485 mm or about one
sixty-fourth of an inch. There are actually 20 or 30 of them in this
trap, plus one springtail and one spider. Thanks for your help, as
always.

 

Regards,

Betsy Bruemmer
