And along an exterior wall, so it makes sense that they just wandered in from outside. They have also appeared within the last month or two.

It is unlikely that they'd thrive or perpetuate in your facility, or pose damage to collections. But, it would be good to learn more about where they were sampled and the composition of any collections you have nearby. -Rich Richard Pollack, PhD.<mailto:[email protected]> CEO & Chief Scientific Officer IdentifyUS, LLC 320 Needham Street Suite 200 Newton, MA 02464-1593 ------------------ 617.600.6360 (W) [cid:[email protected]] <http://twitter.com/IdentifyUS> [cid:[email protected]] <http://www.facebook.com/IdentifyUS> [cid:[email protected]] <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/richard-pollack/7/899/681> [cid:[email protected]] <http://idmybug.tumblr.com/> [cid:[email protected]] <skype:cimex57?call> [cid:[email protected]] <http://quora.com/Rich-Pollack>[cid:[email protected]]<https://identify.us.com/>[cid:[email protected]]<https://identify.us.com/support-topics/spec-eval-forms/spec-eval-form-en.html> On Mar 26, 2014, at 12:35, Jodi DeBruyne <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: This is a message from the Museumpests List.
