The museumpests.net site is happy to post examples of damage in its "Image Library" within the Identification section. There are a few examples already on the site. If you have examples of damage that you would be willing to share and have documented what pest(s) have done the damage, there are 2 means to post it to the sight: 1. Go to the "About Us" tab and fill out the image submission form with your image: http://www.museumpests.net/aboutus.asp?defaultpanel=6 2. Send and email with your image, the pest responsible and the photo credit information for the image to p.kel...@insectslimited.com<mailto:p.kel...@insectslimited.com> Please consider sharing your examples of pests and pest damage with the museum pest community as a whole! The site was created with this type of support in mind. Thanks, Pat Kelley IPM Working Group - ID Aids Subgroup Chair ________________________________ From: ad...@museumpests.net [mailto:ad...@museumpests.net] On Behalf Of Ellen Pearlstein Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2012 9:33 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: RE: [pestlist] photo needed Hi Claire! Boy do I "get" this question! I am not sure whether you have seen the ppt prepared by the Carrlees about Alaskan baskets, but I thought, pending their permission, the attached image might be helpful. Further, the insect diagrams available through the Museumpests.net website might be helpful just to identify the insects, but not the damage. Best to you!

One of my biggest challenges when working with Native communities, and especially those for whom the whole museum world is a new experience, is making museum and collections rules relevant to their day-to-day cultural environment. A photo of a Northwest coast object being chewed by bugs underlined with a few carefully chosen words will have far more impact than the typical "DO NOT EAT AND DRINK IN THE MUSEUM" or "NO FOOD AND DRINK" signs have. Thanks again - if I ever need to make signs for an African collection I will let you know, Claire On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 1:06 PM, Bronwyn Eves <be...@museum.state.il.us<mailto:be...@museum.state.il.us>> wrote: This is a message from the Museumpests List.

Please contact me at be...@museum.state.il.us<mailto:be...@museum.state.il.us> if you are interested.

I have found that very official/authoritarian signage does not go down well here (not that it does anywhere) and that visual hints have far more impact than words. My new signage has been inspired by a format I saw in use at the Pitt Rivers Museum last year which I thought was particularly good (please see bad mobile phone captured photograph below). I am in need of a photograph of insect damage to an object or material that I can use in my version, in particular something recognizable to folks in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe some basketry? I do not have such an image and I'm hoping that you folks might be able to help out. I will need a photo that I can reproduce and display in public and non-public areas (photo credit will of course be included). Any help would be most gratefully accepted. Thanks, Claire J.
