That’s a thrips. Note, that thrips is the correct singular and plural form for insects of this insect order. They’re pests of living plants. Most often they fly or wander in through open windows and doors. Many are small enough to pass through intact standard window screens. They should pose no concern to museum holdings…. unless your facility has valuable living plants that may be considered desirable to these insects. -Rich Richard J.
