Dear Jan-Erik,
The reference below is to a poster David Pinniger and I presented at the SPNHC meeting in London in 2005. We have plenty of vodka beetles here at the NHM! I will e-mail you off the list about your survey. Best wishes, Alison -------------------------------------------------------------------- Alison M.

Doyle, A., and D. Pinniger. 2006. Museum Papers: Monitoring insect pests in a large herbarium for ten years; implications and actions; Risk zones for IPM: from concept to implementation. Fumigants & Pheromones 78:6. .... beginning with 1995 trapping at BM - Lasioderma serricorne (found in 2000 and later caused severe infestations); Anthrenus sarnicus/Guernsey carpet beetle), Attagenus smirnovii/vodka beetle and Thylodrias contractus/odd beetle and "BM" is the herbarium acronym for the British Museum, now the Museum of Natural History in London. That's the only pertinent citation, I have yet gathered from my herbarium literature project. Maybe it will help, but I am sure you'll hear from them anyway. take care now, Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan-Erik Bergh <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 9:20 AM Subject: [pestlist] The vodka beetle Dear freinds, Have you seen the Vodka beetle hanging around?
