Judging from the size of the fibres, they look quite big, so one of the larger clothes moths, possibly Hofmannophila pseudospretella (but I don't really like to ID to species based on photos of droppings). ;-) Tony Irwin

This is a message from the Museumpests List. To post to this list send it as an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. ----------------------------------------------------------- Hi Pestlist: After inspecting several ethnographic objects on display, I found and took a sample of what appeared to be an old infestation on a shield. I have attached several photos for your inspection-can anyone help me identify the following: 1. Are these indeed eggs? 2. If so, are they old or new? 3. Is it possible to id the type of insect based on the egg? Thanks so much in advance for any assistance!
