Looks like a Mud Dauber nest. Other than the obvious mud nest, not sure if it poses any hazard to your collection.

There were pest carcasses in the debris (furniture carpet beetle), but I’m not certain if this is a nest or if it’s just dirt. There was some damage on the inside of the back cover (pictured in the photo), but nothing on the opposite page. Can anyone shed any light? Many thanks!
