Hi Megan
The "cases" are sections of a millipede's cuticle (legs missing). The pouch
could be associated with a moth larva, but might just be a bundle of fluff
that has become stuck to the side of the trap. The millipede bits didn't
get there on their own, so I wonder whether some sweepings have
accidentally found their way into the trap?
Best wishes
Tony

Hi Megan
It looks rather like a *Trixagus *species (Throscidae) - if there's just
the one, I'd put it down to an accidental intruder.

I've encountered this problem in an historic mansion in the Hudson Valley.  
Lots of adults indoors in pheromone traps, but no larvae or damage to the 
wall-to-wall woolen carpets.  Traced to pigeons droppings and nesting material 
on the roof of the adjacent veranda.

Hi Megan 
This is a Monopis species - almost certainly M. crocicapitella, the Pale-backed 
Clothes Moth (though it is known in the US as the "Bird Nest Moth"). It is 
becoming a frequent pest in domestic and public buildings in Europe, or at 
least it is coming to our notice more frequently, especially as it is attracted 
to Tineola pheromone traps. Although the adults can be abundant, finding larvae 
is proving much more difficult.
Best wishes
Tony

Hello Megan,

Certainly has a resemblance to a type of clothes moth. If it is, they 
tend to like a number of different textile type items but have a tendency 
towards animal hair/fur, clothing, carpets/rugs, and that type of material. 
Check your surrounding environment for similar materials and see if you have 
any larvae or more full grown moths. Depending on what you find depends on what 
you do. Anywhere from dry cleaning to large scale freezing. Keep the humidity 
under control, regular inspection, good house keeping policies, sealing of 
items (if appropriate), and closing up entry points will deter further issues. 
Sticky and pheromone traps are handy for keeping an eye on the situation.

It might be something else or could have come in on someone, lets hope!

It looks from the picture like a Black Carrion Beetle. That would be my guess.

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,

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

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.

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.

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).

The psocid is Dorypteryx domestica (a minor pest if at all). The "dermestid 
larva" is a Bristly Millipede (Polyxenus sp. - signifies a damp environment, 
but not a pest).
I'm not sure about the moth - not a familiar British species.

Hello everyone,

I can tell that summer is finally starting, because our pest traps are 
becoming much more popular! I need help identifying three different insects 
this time around. The first two (labeled unid 1 and unid 2) are each about 2 mm 
long. My first guesses for those two are Psocid (unid 1) and Dermestid larvae 
(unid 2), but I'd like to have an expert look at them before I add that to my 
records. I'm worried that the third may be some sort of Clothing moth. Please 
help!

Thanks again,

I'd say this was a species of *Trixagus *(Elateridae). They breed in dead
wood, but to my knowledge do not affect sound structural timber.
Although it looks similar this is not a dermestid or anobiid!

One of the *Chalcophora *species - larvae feed in decaying pine wood, so
should not be regarded as a pest of historic buildings (unless you have
bigger problems!)

Hi everyone!

My colleague found this insect in our historic house. She said it is about 1 ½ 
inches long and seems to have a metallic underside. Does anyone know what this 
is?

Hello everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me identify some of these pests. I have already
identified the springtails, but I am worried about the flying insects I have
been finding in our Collections storage (particularly the insect on Trap 7).
Please help!

Hello everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me identify some of these pests. I have already 
identified the springtails, but I am worried about the flying insects I have 
been finding in our Collections storage (particularly the insect on Trap 7).
Please help!

You collected a male odd beetle, Thylodrias contractus.  This is a dermestid 
beetle where the female is wingless and often misidentified as being a bed bug 
nymph.  Look up pictures and you’ll see why it’s called odd.  The larvae are 
also very interesting looking.

Hi Patricia,

They look somewhat similar to  Dienerella sp. that what we have found in our

No matter the specie of insect you found in your collections, you could 
proceed to drastic disinfestation of the the object by means of Anoxia 
methodology that can be easily (in situ) applied by means of VELOXY 
(VEry Low OXYgen) apparatus developed and certified by RGI Resource 
Group Integrator of Genova (Italy) through an European project to which 
Spain, England Sweden and Italy pariticipated successfully. it is a not 
expensive, safe for health , reliable and easy to be applied 
methodology.
Few weeks of anoxia will eradicate any specie of infestant 
insect at any stage of its life.
Please tahe a look to RGI web Site www.
rgi-genova.com and see the attached video screen played by European 
commissison.

To all,  Unfortunately I have already eliminated the original email on

 I, too, would like

I've seen many fungus 
beetle infestations because after the roof leak 
repairs (or plumbing, 
seepage, etc.) the landlord is so quick to seal up 
the wall and paint 
that the moisture and mold growth is still going 
strong; consequently, 
the beetle population continues. 
As offered in an earlier post, you 
can send collected samples and I will 
try to ID.

Patty -

I agree with David Piniger - it's most likely some sort of fungus beetle.  If 
you have lots of them trapped on glueboards, there may be a current or past 
roof leak.  I had a situation in an art museum with thousands of them.  The 
roof leaks were "repaired", but the beetles kept coming.  Hope you just had a 
few.

Actually the family name has been revised to Latridiid (only a letter). 
Doesn't look like the typical, common plaster beetle species that people
often drop off for me to look at.  Let me try & see which one it could be.

Re: [pestlist] ID help, please

Probably a Lathridiid minute scavenger beetle [or plaster beetle in the UK]. 
They live on microscopic mould. 
There are 100s of species.  See Richard Gorham's excellent USDA book "Insect 
and Mite pests in food"
One or two is OK, but if you find a lot, that indicates a damp problem.

  We are finding these in traps in one Historic House. Tick marks on the side 
are .1 mm. Very tiny. Any suggestions as to who they might be?

Hello Patty,

My entomologist suggests a psocoptera and says to check your books as that
is what they like to eat.

Dear Anne,
 
Insect growth regulators (Gentrol, Nyguard, etc.) will work well if you can 
apply them in a close proximity to the source of the infestation. If the 
infestation is not coming from collection pieces, I have often found the food 
source 
to be a build up of dead insects or a dead rodent/bird within a wall void. 
When this is the case, an IGR application to the wall void has worked very 
well. 
For Varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, most adult beetle activity in 
North America occurs in the spring season. A sex pheromone trap at this time of 
year will yield little information about where the source may be coming from. 
Dermestid larval monitors placed strategically about will give you better 
information. If you pick up larvae in the monitors, you know that you have an 
infestation source relatively close by.

RE: [pestlist] ID Help Needed

[Watts, Angela B]

Hello Anne,

 

I don't have any information on Gentrol, so I can't speak to that, but
we have found several carpet beetles in one of our collections areas,
and we have opted against using any chemical means of control.  We are
using sticky traps, HEPA filtered vacuums, clean storage materials, and
gasket-sealed cabinets to control insects in storage, and using freezer
treatments for infested objects.  There are many differing opinions on
using pheromone lures at all (we don't use any), but if you know that it
was a migrant from another space, I would avoid using lures, which would
attract even more migrants out of the gallery and into your collections
space.

 

Sincerely, 

 

Angela Watts
