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.

Thank you,
