Lexi, There are a lot of really good resources for identifying insects on line. I would start first with the Museum Pest Network Identification tab. https://museumpests.net/identification/. This resource will help you identify most of the common pest species, as well as tell you about the life cycles. You can also take a look at the on-line resources listed on The Museum Pest Network site. The Museum Pest Network was set up to help people like you. You can also take a look at Connecting to Collections Care website. There are several very good webinars on Integrated Pest Management. Finally, there are some on-line courses on IPM available. For example, Museum Study, LLC (http://www.museumstudy.com/).

This is a pretty generous group, but I think it would probably make it easier for people to help if you can narrow it down a little. I believe Alan Van Dyke shared with you the museumpests.net website, which is a great resource for people starting out dong pest ID. I would recommend that you start there and work through your images. I think that process will also help you to know which of your images contain the information that is necessary confidently ID the insect. After that, if there are a few that remain unidentified, you could circle back with specific questions.

It doesn't have to be in a specific format, but any information may help. Identifying which picture has which insects would also be helpful as well. Thank you again for your time.
