Tom Parker Entomologist -----Original Message----- From: Wendi Field Murray <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Mar 24, 2023 3:18 pm Subject: [PestList] FW: Mystery debris on African object Hello all, Can anyone tell me what I am seeing on this hide/fur object from Namibia? There does not appear to be any live pest activity (I believe it made its way to Connecticut in the 1970s and has been in this box ever since) but the fur is completely gone where there is evidence of the most debris, and feeding holes are present in the hide itself. We are hoping to rehab this object, but need an id on this detritus/pest first. No idea if these pests originated in southern Africa or New England. Thanks!
