Greetings, They are devastating for collections, but it can be cathartic to see them targeting other pests. I once watched an American cockroach run into a gallery, and I quickly nudged a trap in front of its path. A week later, I did my monthly trap inspections and found that the cockroach was almost halfway gone thanks to two dermestid larvae that started at the rear and worked their way forward. I should have photographed that trap.
