Subject: [pestlist] Fungus gnats?

Hello pest listers,

Recently our city took down a totem pole that was outdoors and it is being 
stored indoors temporarily. As the temperature was slowly increased, insects 
emerged. I haven’t been to the offsite storage but I had the staff that check 
on it bring me a sample (technically it doesn’t fall under the area I’m 
responsible for but I’ve become the go-to bug person). I’m told they are all 
over the pole and there are tiny flying black insects as well. I’m thinking the 
ones in the photo are fungus gnats in late pupa stage? The largest is 2mm long. 
Apologies for the photo quality, this was the best I could get with what we 
have. I’m hoping we will get a microscope in the near future.

Thanks much,

Sarah
