Bug Quiz!
Here's a regional entomologist who might help.

Here are some informed guesses, but I'm not a specialist by any stretch!
Good Luck.

Hello,

Could someone help ID these insects and arthropods please. The photos are not 
the greatest, but it's what our equipment allows.

Image 1 -  Size = 2 mm
Image 2 -  Size = 1 mm
Image 3 - Size = 7 mm
Image 4 - Size = 1 mm
Image 5 - Size = 2 mm
Image 6 - Size = 1 mm
Image 7 - Size = 1 mm
Image 8 - Size = 5 mm
Image 9 - Size = 1 mm
Image 10 - Size = 2 mm

Thank you very much for your help.

I concur with Joel - 2 and 9 are book lice.  4 is some sort of hunting
spider.  Not damaging to collections, but an indicator of infestation.

Yes and also the ventral view of the beetle that showed the head morphology and 
attachment to thorax did not show dermestid associated characters.

Casey and Matthew -
I think your suggestion that this might be a dermestid is quite reasonable, 
given the compact shape and the presence of scales on the thorax and wing 
cases. However this doesn't match any of the dermestids that I know, and there 
are other families of beetles with scales, notably the weevils and bark beetles 
(Curculionidae). In this case the asymmetric scale pattern gave it away - most 
bark beetles are rather plain, but this genus has a couple of species with such 
a pattern. I used an old book that I've had for over 50 years to make the 
initial identification, and confirmed it with an internet search for images of 
the genus. (There's a limit to what I can keep in my head!) The other clue that 
I had was that Simon mentioned dozens of beetles trying to get out. In my 
experience that most often results from a mass emergence from firewood.

To the untrained eye this looks more dermestid-like, though perhaps I project 
my greatest problem onto any bug.  Tony, as an entomologist I trust your 
observation but wonder about the features that drew you to that diagnosis? I 
was looking at shape and scale pattern (though my amature eye).

Hi Simon
This is one of the bark beetles (Scolytinae) - I would say it is Hylesinus 
fraxini or a close relative. They are usually associated with ash trees 
(Fraxinus), and tunnel under the bark. When they occur in large numbers 
indoors, the first thing to inspect is any firewood. It is most likely they are 
emerging from that. They do not present a threat to the building or its 
contents, except that dead individuals provide food for Anthrenus larvae.
Best wishes

Hello, I have spoken to one of our Coleoptera  experts and he confirmed Tony’s 
identificattion that is an Ash Bark Beetle genus Leperisinus (Family 
Curculionidae: Subfamily Scolytinae). They are usually the species Leperisinus 
varius.

It’s a native outdoor species associated with ash trees (genus Fraxinus) where 
it bores into the wood of recently dead branches and trunks. It probably flew in

Hallo Group,

This little guy I could not find in any of my books. The specimen is from 
southern Jutland in Denmark. Dozens of individuals of this species appeared 
inside an old, inhabited farm house (timber structures, probably organic 
filling material in ceilings, all kinds of possible food sources available, but 
the source has not yet been discovered) in the course of July, flying to the 
windows to get outside. They are about 3 mm in length. Colour isn’t great in 
the pictures, but greyish-brown with off-white scale markings is still pretty 
much what it looks like in real.
Any help would be appreciated!

Tony,

Fascinating!  I also noticed that the legs seemed “hairy” as opposed to those 
on the dermestids I was looking at.  Is this a correct observation?

Hi Simon
This is one of the bark beetles (Scolytinae) - I would say it is Hylesinus 
fraxini or a close relative. They are usually associated with ash trees 
(Fraxinus), and tunnel under the bark. When they occur in large numbers 
indoors, the first thing to inspect is any firewood. It is most likely they are 
emerging from that. They do not present a threat to the building or its 
contents, except that dead individuals provide food for Anthrenus larvae.
Best wishes

Casey and Matthew -
I think your suggestion that this might be a dermestid is quite reasonable,
given the compact shape and the presence of scales on the thorax and wing
cases. However this doesn't match any of the dermestids that I know, and
there are other families of beetles with scales, notably the weevils and
bark beetles (Curculionidae). In this case the asymmetric scale pattern
gave it away - most bark beetles are rather plain, but this genus has a
couple of species with such a pattern. I used an old book that I've had for
over 50 years to make the initial identification, and confirmed it with an
internet search for images of the genus. (There's a limit to what I can
keep in my head!) The other clue that I had was that Simon mentioned dozens
of beetles trying to get out. In my experience that most often results from
a mass emergence from firewood.

To the untrained eye this looks more dermestid-like, though perhaps I project 
my greatest problem onto any bug.  Tony, as an entomologist I trust your 
observation but wonder about the features that drew you to that diagnosis? I 
was looking at shape and scale pattern (though my amature eye).

Hallo Group,

This little guy I could not find in any of my books. The specimen is from 
southern Jutland in Denmark. Dozens of individuals of this species appeared 
inside an old, inhabited farm house (timber structures, probably organic 
filling material in ceilings, all kinds of possible food sources available, but 
the source has not yet been discovered) in the course of July, flying to the 
windows to get outside. They are about 3 mm in length. Colour isn’t great in 
the pictures, but greyish-brown with off-white scale markings is still pretty 
much what it looks like in real.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Simon,

It looks very similar to an adult museum beetle, Anthrenus museorum, in the 
dermestid group.  Others might have a keener eye, however.  :)

The habit of them trying to get out windows, failing and depositing themselves 
in as the sills, is similar to what I see in adult varied carpet beetles.  In 
your farm house their larvae could be feeding on dead rodents, other dead 
insects within the structure.

Some more information on them via MuseumPests.net website:
http://museumpests.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/museum-beetle-fact-sheet.pdf

Best,
Matt

Yup.  Drywood termite.  The frass will be the color of the wood in which they 
are feeding.  The workers make a "kick hole" out of which they discard the 
frass.  If you open up their galleries, there will be lots of pelletized frass 
in them.  The pellets look like old time, deflated footballs.

Hi All, 
 
We found an insect in our galleries today that we would like help identifying. 
It looks like it is probably a younger drywood termite, but the frass doesn’t 
look right for this identification. Anyone have any ideas on what this insect 
may be? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Thanks,
The collection is in a basement we have been having a huge humidity problem, so 
was just making sure it was not something that could damage the collections.  
Already found other pest that could damage the collection.  The collections 
will be moving later this year or early next year to a new building. Hopefully, 
 humidity will be better controlled.

Hi Adrienne
This is Battaristis nigratomella, one of the Gelechiidae, whose members are 
plant-feeders, so these will be accidental visitors, rather than residents.

Hi, All

Does anyway know what this moth is? I have been getting in traps the last few 
weeks.

Thanks,

It looks from the picture like a Black Carrion Beetle. That would be my guess.

Hi,

We found this beetle on a trap in one of our collections storage rooms. It is 
approximately 5mm long. Could someone please help identify it?

Antlions prefer sandy soils. Larvae create pits by tossing sand grains over 
their back, turning slightly, and tossing grains again. By repeating this while 
moving in a circle, they create a funnel-shaped pit in the sand. It's fun to 
watch when ants get caught in the pit. They try to crawl out, but little 
landslides keep pulling them back in. If they might be able to get out, the 
antlion larva at the bottom of the pit throws sand higher up the pit...this 
causes a landslide in front of the ant that pulls it back down.

All you can see in the pit is the jaws of the larva protruding from the base of 
the pit. When an ant finally slips to the bottom of the pit, the jaws grab it 
and pull it under.

One anecdotal comment: Based on one unrepeated experiment, antlion larvae 
apparently do not like ticks. I dropped one in a pit, the antlion pulled it 
under, and a second or two later tossed the tick out of the pit. Living in a 
hot spot for Lyme disease at the time, I was disappointed in the result. But I 
had to try, right?

Don't know if you want to post this to the list or not. I found an adult 
antlion which I understand is fairly rareI know that this is the only one 
that I have ever seen.  I found it on the exterior of one of our modern 
buildings yesterday. I would love to see what Lou and the others know about 
them. JTV

The moth in pics 1 & 2 is a *Monopis *species, almost certainly *Monopis
crocicapitella*, which is turning up  frequently on pheromone traps in
buildings in Britain, but occurs worldwide. To be certain of the
identification requires a genitalia prep. Happy to do that for you if you
can spare the specimen. Pics 3 & 4 show *Dorypteryx domestica*, as far as I
can tell from the photos. This is a species of booklouse that appears to
occur frequently in museums and art galleries, but I don't know of anywhere
that it has been shown to do much damage. It is certainly less damaging
than *Liposcelis*.

Just a quick ID would be a tineid moth and multiple insects are booklice.  More 
specifics later or someone else might know one or both species off hand.

Hello all,

I've attached several details of a sticky trap laid in one of our storage rooms 
and would very much appreciate help with identification.

The pest in shots 1 and 2 is the only one of its type on the trap.  Those shown 
in shots 3 and 4 number about 20, which has me concerned.  The storage room, 
unfortunately carpeted, houses mostly work on paper, including books.

Best,

Thanks for the information Gretchen and William. Attached you’ll find a picture 
that’s scaled, the larger winged ant is just over ¼” in length.

As far as I’m aware we’ve had nothing new arrive in the space, save for 
students beginning at the start of May. Our collections space suffers a bit 
being in a retrofitted barn, the ants seem to be congregating near exposed wood 
beams on the floor, hopefully that doesn’t signal anything major. We vacuumed 
and swept up the visible critters yesterday but they’ve reappeared again, our 
pest control company will be coming in shortly to hopefully rectify the 
situation today.

Fingers crossed they aren’t nesting indoors.

Hello Claire,

I’ll agree with Gretchen and one other thing to look at, have 
you recently moved something into your collections office area? Possibly a new 
donation or something that was stored in a less controlled space/outside? Might 
be they hitched a ride, though that doesn’t negate the need to deal with them 
but may save you some time tracking down their route inside.

Hi Claire,

It sounds like you have a nest somewhere nearby.  Ants fly and swarm when it is 
time to breed and find a new nest! Then they loose their wings and get down to 
business.  What size are they? If you can get a photograph with a scale in it 
would help.  I will leave to others to specifically identify them.

Generally, ants are not a direct threat to collections.  They are indicators 
that there are access points to the building as well as potential environmental 
concerns.  Carpenter ants (and bees) indicate that there is high humidity and 
rot, either in the building or in trees around the building.  Of course, dead 
ants will provide a food source for insects that are a greater risk to 
collections. It is worth determining where they are gaining access and dealing 
with them

Claire,
Look for piles of frass (fine sawdust) under or near the wood beams and walls. 
That might indicate if the ants are carpenter ants or not.  Or if you have a 
powder post beetle problem.

Hi all,

A cluster of these flying ants and “regular” ants seem to have appeared 
overnight in our collections office area, which is adjacent/in our collections 
space. I’m wondering if anyone can identify them, provide advice on getting rid 
of them and let me know if they are a hazard to any particular 
collection/material?
If the photos aren’t good enough quality I can try and snag a few more .

Thanks very much!

Claire

Hi Claire,

It sounds like you have a nest somewhere nearby.  Ants fly and swarm when it is 
time to breed and find a new nest! Then they loose their wings and get down to 
business.  What size are they? If you can get a photograph with a scale in it 
would help.  I will leave to others to specifically identify them.

Generally, ants are not a direct threat to collections.  They are indicators 
that there are access points to the building as well as potential environmental 
concerns.  Carpenter ants (and bees) indicate that there is high humidity and 
rot, either in the building or in trees around the building.  Of course, dead 
ants will provide a food source for insects that are a greater risk to 
collections. It is worth determining where they are gaining access and dealing 
with them

Hi all,

A cluster of these flying ants and “regular” ants seem to have appeared 
overnight in our collections office area, which is adjacent/in our collections 
space. I’m wondering if anyone can identify them, provide advice on getting rid 
of them and let me know if they are a hazard to any particular 
collection/material?
If the photos aren’t good enough quality I can try and snag a few more .

Thanks very much!

Claire

Hi Megan,
Now that you included a close-up of one insect, it's not a springtail, but a 
booklouse, insect order Psocodea (older literature has it as Psocoptera). No 
termite here.
Either way, it's a moisture issue.

Thanks Louis!

I'm attaching a few more images: I managed to get a shot of one of them, and a 
shot of the mound/nest through the microscope. I'm also attaching an image of 
the pest next to a penny for scale reference; I drew a circle around the pest. 
Looking at it under magnification now I think it does look like a springtail.

One of my Facilities colleagues thought it looked like a dry wood termite 
(we've had infestations before, but not in that part of the house), but this 
seems way too small to be a termite. What do you think?

I removed the mound and, hopefully, most of the pests. The wood underneath the 
mound appeared undamaged, but there is tar paper insulation in the vents under 
the window, so I wonder if that is something they would be attracted to?

Many thanks, your help is very much appreciated!
Megan

Hi All,

We had a rainstorm last night and some water intrusion on one of the wooden 
windowsills of our historic house. The water intrusion may be unrelated but it 
led to the discovery of a small mound of dirt (?) crawling with small grey 
insects. I’ve attached a couple photos but I don’t know that these are clear 
enough for identification, I will try to collect a couple of the insects and 
get them under the microscope later today.

Any ideas what this might be? Could they be wood boring insects? Any 
recommendations on how to proceed?

Many thanks

This is most likely a dumb question, but if we caught the queen, does that mean 
the colony is most likely inside the building? Has anyone had experience 
dealing with carpenter ant colonies? Our building was built in 1896, so there 
is a lot of old, moist wood for them to live in. I am just trying to figure out 
what steps to take next. Please e-mail me with suggestions - here is my e-mail, 
so I don't bog down the listserv: megan.jablon...@navy.mil

2 ants. Large one looks like a de-alate queen carpenter ant. Maybe the small 
one is a pavement ant (2-node), but not sure, could be something else. Need a 
better view of it. The moth is a clothes moth (tineid).

Hello everyone,

I found a couple disconcerting pests today. I have my suspicions about what 
they might be, but I'd like confirmation before I decide what actions to take.

I'd agree with Louis. Moth looks like the webbing clothes moth. Small ant is 
likely a pavement ant; would be good to get a clearer shot of the head.

Hello Megan,

The first image looks like a couple ants, likely an accidental visitor 
but check for pest access points if you're seeing multiples. If there's food in 
the area that might be what attracted them. The second image looks like a 
clothes moth, but certainly others may correct me on that.

Hi Jessica,

 

It looks like a carpet beetle, Anthrenus sp.  In a natural history museum 
setting, this would be cause for a red alert as Dermestid larvae feed on animal 
products, e.g. hides, furs, feathers, dried insects, pretty much anything in a 
zoology collection. In an art collection, it depends on the type of materials 
in your collection, but I’d say they are still cause for concern. They may have 
come in on plants or through an open door. You should start monitoring 
immediately to determine whether you have a one-off or a problem brewing. Start 
an IPM program if there isn’t one in place. Start educating yourself on pest 
management practices (or appoint someone) so you can educate other staff – if 
they’ve been used to doing things one way for a long time, it may take a while 
to retrain them with new habits. Get to know your facilities people and become 
good friends with them! 

 

Bug Guide is a good resource for identification. Here’s a link to the genus 
Anthrenus:  http://bugguide.net/index.php?q=search&keys=anthrenus&search=Search

 

We have plants in our building in specific areas but do so under supervision by 
our horticultural staff. Potted plants are not permitted near items from the 
collections. We also have live animals and work with those staff charged with 
their care to ensure that the institution’s pest management policies work for 
everyone.

Hi everyone,

 

I just started as director/curator for the Southern Utah Museum of Art, which 
is located on the campus of Southern Utah University. When I arrived last week, 
I was alarmed to see potted plants not only in offices but also in a gallery! 
Today, I spotted an insect. Can you help me identify it? Image attached.

 

Also, if you have policies to help your museums avoid pests, would you be 
willing to share them with me? I need to implement those best practices here, 
but I'm not sure where to start. Any resources you might have would be 
appreciated!

 

Sincerely,

 

Jessica Farling

Jessica,
You are already on this list so you have one good resource already. 
http://museumpests.net/ Is a great resource as well. They have a 
downloadable set of procedures for Control of Food and Live Plants that 
may be helpful. 
http://museumpests.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/foodplants.pdf
You should definitely start a log of all pest sightings. Enlist the help 
of other staff members especially the cleaning staff. Create a simple 
form for them to fill out any time the find a pest.
This will help you identify the pests, where they are coming from, what 
they are coming in for and hopefully help your case to make improvements 
to your policies.
At Museum Study we teach two 4 week courses on pest management, 
Introduction to Integrated Pest Management and Integrated Pest 
Management: The Plan & Implementation.

Rich,
I agree with the ID as the mite being a species of Balaustium.  I get some 
calls about these mites and also Bryobia.  The default ID by many people and 
PCOs/PMPs is incorrectly clover mites.  They are not aware of other kinds of 
‘red’ mites. There are records of certain Balaustium species biting people, 
too, however the species are not classical parasitic mites (such as those 
blood-feeders known from rodents and birds).  These feeding episodes might not 
be common occurrences.

Reference to Attacks on Man. I.M. Newell. 1963. J. Parasitol. 49(3).

I’ve been asked by several members of this list for suggestions on digital 
imagers. Rather than replying to each separately, I’ll post here.

I’ve evaluated many such units over the years, and try to keep current on new 
and useful devices. I use several daily in my own work, but I also am an 
authorized reseller for one line of scopes that I frequently recommend to 
clients. ProScope (also known as Bodelin) manufactures diverse lines of digital 
handheld (or mounted) microscopes. They have devices that connect via USB to 
any modern MacOS or Win computer, standalone units that connect wirelessly via 
its own wifi to your phone or tablet, and yet other accessories that clip onto 
your phone or tablet. More recently, they added a digital imager that captures 
excellent images from the ocular tube of a microscope. I use each, and select 
the device depending upon my needs. Find the entire line at 
https://proscopedigital.com<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fproscopedigital.com&data=01%7C01%7Csorkin%40amnh.org%7C1ce44c8e00234ecd43a008d4bcd09226%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=glSsWdKHqVqpxpAJiG36LFRiWtKRWNILfVYF3IdPjwo%3D&reserved=0>.
 You can buy from them or from any other authorized reseller (myself included). 
 Should anyone be interested in my own recommendations and for a quote, contact 
me directly. For examples of images captured using different lenses of a louse 
egg between paper and translucent tape, visit 
https://identify.us.com/idmybug/head-lice/head-lice-images/proscope-lens-compare/proscope-lens-comparison.html<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fidentify.us.com%2Fidmybug%2Fhead-lice%2Fhead-lice-images%2Fproscope-lens-compare%2Fproscope-lens-comparison.html&data=01%7C01%7Csorkin%40amnh.org%7C1ce44c8e00234ecd43a008d4bcd09226%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=8iRNwJC37dY27S2fN%2BGQcp7P0RT%2BVdk7uFmOflHx1mk%3D&reserved=0>.

Finally, back to the mite. That is neither a clover mite nor a biting mite. I 
stand by my initial suggestion, but would be happy to examine the specimen 
directly should it come my way.

Hello Joanna,

It is difficult to identify a pest from the damage.  If possible, get a 
close-up image of the critter.  It will also help if you can give us an idea of 
the scale?  Measure it if possible.  Sorry that I cannot be of more help at 
this point.

Hello Johanna,
Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to 
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a 
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very 
reasonable price.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QLYPMZW?psc=1
Good luck!

Best,
Jessica

Dear Rich,
attached some more pictures. Have you any ideas?
The insects move, that means they are alive and they are very small (2mm). But 
we will open the pictureframe anyway to get a further view on the problem.

Johanna,

The images are not of sufficient resolution or magnification to allow for an 
answer with any assurance. Please try to find a way to obtain better images. 
Alternatively, sample the physical material and consider submitting it for 
evaluation.

Hi Forrest
Have you any reason to doubt the original identification suggestions?
If you want a definitive species name on it, I think you will have to send
the specimen to someone who is familiar with the North American Siricidae.

Michael,

The image is a bit less than ideal, but it may help narrow the field. That is a 
mite, and it seems quite similar to a mite of the genus Balaustium. 

There are many suitable and affordable digital scopes. I can offer insights and 
can outfit you with unit that works for you. Let's connect directly to discuss. 

Best,
Rich

The pronotum looks very narrow and wide for it to be a Lyctus species of

Hi Cara,

Unfortunately, that sure does look and sound like a powder post beetle to me 
(though it’s hard for me to be positive without the antennae).

If the altarpiece is on open display, you might want to alert the people who 
clean the gallery that the frass will resemble extremely fine sawdust or even 
very light dirt. It is very easily mistaken for other substances.

Luckily these beetles are pretty weak fliers. If you can’t get the object into 
treatment any time soon, you could be able to partially control their movements 
by using a UV lure in the gallery after hours.

Hi Joel,

Size: 5-6 mm

It was found alive, crawling on a painted platform in front of a painted 
altarpiece on wood panel.  I don’t have any photos of exit holes, but the raw 
wood visible on this altarpiece does have plenty of old signs of pest damage. 
This is a loaned object that reportedly has been treated twice with anoxia in 
the last year, for what type of pest activity I am not sure. (It is typically 
on display in a church, however, so the likelihood of re-infestation seems high 
in that kind of environment.) There was no frass visible below or around the 
altarpiece, however this object is currently installed so I wasn’t able to lift 
it up to examine very closely.

Thanks,
Cara

I have to agree. I've been travelling but the first picture that was posted was 
enough. Very distinctive head.  Some are plant feeders; some predaceous. Their 
wings (if present) are also quite distinctive and characteristic for the order.

Hi Johanna
As others have suggested, a specimen or magnified photo would be best to get a 
definitive name, but looking at your pictures, I am quite sure that the insect 
is a thrips (Thysanoptera). These insects regularly squeeze themselves into 
picture frames (they have evolved to insert themselves into very narrow spaces 
in the plants on which they feed). They will do no damage themselves, but 
occasionally a dead thrips can act as a focal point for mould, which may damage 
works on paper, so they are best removed from the frames.
Best wishes
Tony

Hello Johanna,

Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to 
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a 
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very 
reasonable price.

Dear Rich,
attached some more pictures. Have you any ideas?
The insects move, that means they are alive and they are very small (2mm). But 
we will open the pictureframe anyway to get a further view on the problem.

Hi Cara,

Unfortunately, that sure does look and sound like a powder post beetle to me 
(though it's hard for me to be positive without the antennae).

If the altarpiece is on open display, you might want to alert the people who 
clean the gallery that the frass will resemble extremely fine sawdust or even 
very light dirt. It is very easily mistaken for other substances.

Luckily these beetles are pretty weak fliers. If you can't get the object into 
treatment any time soon, you could be able to partially control their movements 
by using a UV lure in the gallery after hours.

Hi Joel,

Size: 5-6 mm

It was found alive, crawling on a painted platform in front of a painted 
altarpiece on wood panel.  I don't have any photos of exit holes, but the raw 
wood visible on this altarpiece does have plenty of old signs of pest damage. 
This is a loaned object that reportedly has been treated twice with anoxia in 
the last year, for what type of pest activity I am not sure. (It is typically 
on display in a church, however, so the likelihood of re-infestation seems high 
in that kind of environment.) There was no frass visible below or around the 
altarpiece, however this object is currently installed so I wasn't able to lift 
it up to examine very closely.

Thanks,
Cara

get a definitive name, but looking at your pictures, I am quite sure that
the insect is a thrips (Thysanoptera). These insects regularly squeeze
themselves into picture frames (they have evolved to insert themselves into
very narrow spaces in the plants on which they feed). They will do no
damage themselves, but occasionally a dead thrips can act as a focal point
for mould, which may damage works on paper, so they are best removed from
the frames.
Best wishes

Hello Johanna,

Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very
reasonable price.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QLYPMZW?psc=1
Good luck!

Best,
Jessica

Johanna,

Sadly, the images are not helpful in narrowing the options. Please consider 
opening the frame, removing the offending creatures, and then capturing more 
digital images. If you have a microscope or other magnification device, that 
would help immensely in viewing the beasts. I remain prepared to help offer 
insights.

Johanna,

The images are not of sufficient resolution or magnification to allow for an 
answer with any assurance. Please try to find a way to obtain better images. 
Alternatively, sample the physical material and consider submitting it for 
evaluation.

So far a beetle and a true bug (but not a bed bug) have been nominated as the 
identity for this one insect.  Is it possible to get a better dorsal and a 
ventral view of the unknown insect?

Hi all,

One of our volunteers brought this into the museum last week while I was out, 
and said she found it in her couch. Unfortunately, I've only seen the photos, 
as she took it back home since I wasn't here. It does kind of look like a bed 
bug, but seems to lack the point at the end of the abdomen and she said she 
didn't see the distinctive horizontal sectioning you see with bed bugs. Any 
thoughts? I'm curious in case it is a bed bug, but also if it's a pest that 
just looks a lot like one. Apologies that the pictures aren't better.

Thank you!
Robyn

Too bad there isn't a clearer picture of the size of the close-up shot. It 
might be a true bug (something like an aradid), but not a bed bug.  A focused, 
more macro shot would help. Ventral view, too.

I'd say this was a bark-bug *Aneura *(Aradidae or Aneuridae). Not a pest,
just an accidental visitor.

Thank you very much Tony,
I subjected object to anoxia treatment, whit 2 other objects from the museum

What would imply positive identification, or your look at the specimen for me?

Hi Tatjana
There are other genera of dermestid larvae that have long posterior hair tufts 
(Trogoderma, Anthrenocerus), and your specimen appears to have a dense tuft of 
setae on the terminal segment, which would suggest it is not Attagenus. Also it 
looks like there is a small Anthrenus skin under the larger skin as well. 
Treatment will be the same whichever species is involved, but if you want a 
positive identification, I'm happy to look at the specimen for you.
Best wishes
Tony

  Dear all,

  Attached are 2 photos of a larva found in the paper in which a small leather 
bag was stored (item belongs to the collection of African objects). I can 
assume that it is Attagenus because of the characteristic hair at the end of 
the body and yellow stripes. Can anyone help with an identification? Any help 
with ID would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tatjana
There are other genera of dermestid larvae that have long posterior hair
tufts (*Trogoderma*, *Anthrenocerus*), and your specimen appears to have a
dense tuft of setae on the terminal segment, which would suggest it is not
*Attagenus*. Also it looks like there is a small *Anthrenus* skin under the
larger skin as well. Treatment will be the same whichever species is
involved, but if you want a positive identification, I'm happy to look at
the specimen for you.
Best wishes
Tony

Yes, looks like a siricid and could be a male.

Looks like of one of the woodwasps (Siricidae) to me.
They take a long time (several years) to develop, so infested timber can be 
sawn and incorporated into structures before the wasps emerge. Or they might be 
in firewood.

Tony’s analysis does seem more likely than mine. Either way, it seems to be a

I interpreted the two small dots at the back of the head as markings, rather 
than ocelli, so dismissed Lygaeidae. The wing configuration seems much more 
like Miridae, perhaps somewhere near Hoplomachus, but I don't really know the 
North American fauna.

Hello,
I had sent this around previously but the message might not have gone through.  
We found this inset crawling across the work bench in our lab.  It is 
approximately 4mm long.  Any help with ID would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all,

In April 2017 we recorded a new booklice not seen previously in our museum. 
Darren Mann identified as Lepinotus reticulatus and I have included a picture 
of the species which is identifiable by its thick hairs and stumpy wings.

Curious to know if any other UK museums seen this pest before?

Hi,

The short-winged one is Lepinotus reticulatus - it's a domestic species and 
potentially a pest. New to our list I believe.

Lynsey,

Millipedes sometimes have irregular "migrations" where they can enter buildings 
in large numbers. I'm not sure if we understand why. Try correcting any damp 
situations outside (e.g., mulch or leaf litter next to the building), seal 
cracks, and, if possible, keep an 18- to 36-inch vegetation-free zone around 
the building.

Hi there,

One of the properties we manage is experiencing a problem with what appear to 
be millipedes - please see first image attached. I'm not sure that they are 
considered a museum pest, but believe that they are an indication of damp 
(which we're already aware of). Can anyone provide any other advice on why we 
may be seeing a sudden influx of these?

Additionally, another insect has been spotted that we can't identify (second 
image). Does anyone recognise this?

Many thanks,


Lynsey

Hi Lindsey
Your second insect appears to be a silverfish (*Lepisma saccharina*) or
close relative. If the property you mention is coastal, this could be one
of the "rock-brats", *Petrobius, *which are a bit more substantial than
silverfish. *Petrobius *sh*o*uldn't be a problem (other than indicating
poor sealing of the building), but silverfish can be damaging to paper and
other artefacts.

Lynsey,

Millipedes sometimes have irregular “migrations” where they can enter buildings 
in large numbers. I’m not sure if we understand why. Try correcting any damp 
situations outside (e.g., mulch or leaf litter next to the building), seal 
cracks, and, if possible, keep an 18- to 36-inch vegetation-free zone around 
the building.

Hi there,

One of the properties we manage is experiencing a problem with what appear to 
be millipedes – please see first image attached. I’m not sure that they are 
considered a museum pest, but believe that they are an indication of damp 
(which we’re already aware of). Can anyone provide any other advice on why we 
may be seeing a sudden influx of these?

Additionally, another insect has been spotted that we can’t identify (second 
image). Does anyone recognise this?

Many thanks,

Certainly looks like Reesa vespulae to me as well.  I did have to look it up 
however!  It's not one I've come across at our institution (yet).  Also, we 
don't have it in our ID section of MuseumPests.  Perhaps we need to add it.

pest traps.  I have had classes in entomology but it has been a long time so I 
do not remember everything.   On Tuesday I found several of these insects in a 
sticky trap.  My first thought was booklice. They looked like the pictures that 
I found on online.  If they are booklice can someone give me tips on 
controlling them and eliminating them. I know I need to control the humidity 
and get artifacts off the bottom shelves but what else can I do and have others 
that work with the Archives do?
I have attached some pictures of them. They are not that great of pictures 
hopefully someone will be able to identify  them.  We do not have a camera that 
will hook up to dissection microscope.

Thanks for any help,

Adrienne Dastgir

I can't see this is *Plodia *or *Ephestia*. It resembles  the European

Can anyone help me ID this tiny insect? They are crowding around doors that

The psocid is Dorypteryx domestica (a minor pest if at all). The "dermestid 
larva" is a Bristly Millipede (Polyxenus sp. - signifies a damp environment, 
but not a pest).
I'm not sure about the moth - not a familiar British species.

Hello everyone,

I can tell that summer is finally starting, because our pest traps are 
becoming much more popular! I need help identifying three different insects 
this time around. The first two (labeled unid 1 and unid 2) are each about 2 mm 
long. My first guesses for those two are Psocid (unid 1) and Dermestid larvae 
(unid 2), but I'd like to have an expert look at them before I add that to my 
records. I'm worried that the third may be some sort of Clothing moth. Please 
help!

Thanks again,

Challenging problem.  I have a few questions:
- Do you already have an effective IPM program going on in the museum?  If
you do have recurrent pests, what are they?
- How long is the duration of this installation?
- How close can people get up to it?
- Is it in direct line with an air register?

I have to respectfully disagree with the plexi vitrine suggestion as I
doubt that the artist would accept it.  It would negate the concept of
'impermanence' of the piece and be visually intrusive.  I do advocate for
plexi glazing on paintings in public buildings and sites, and for barriers
to objects and art objects, but it might not be warranted in this case.  It
would certainly create a separation between the two components of the work.

Erika,

Ah! My concerns would be about the same as yours: potential for 
pests (new and existing even with past treatment), dust, and additionally 
people. I don't know how much the charcoal would be of interest to pests but 
the unburnt/partially burnt items may. The image shows well burned items but 
there may be some parts that still have enough to be of interest to pests. The 
silk is the same concern as if you had silk items in your collection in my 
opinion, monitor and be careful. This would honestly be my least concern for 
this piece. The dust from the charcoal would worry me. Disaster response 
literature or those that have participated in a response effort for a fire will 
note how charcoal dust and soot gets EVERYWHERE. As it is so fine it can get 
ingrained into just about anything very easily. Granted this will be much more 
controlled than the dust/soot from a fire but I feel it would travel easily. 
That leads to my last point of people. People will touch the charcoal. I want 
to say especially children but as I'm sure everyone has seen adults are just as 
bad. After they touch the charcoal they will do their best effort to touch 
everything within reach, especially if its collection items. This would be my 
biggest concern.

Would it be possible to have the charcoal and burnt silk in a 
Plexiglas box? Off the top of my head, a base of Plexiglas, the artist or staff 
arrange the charcoal and burnt silk on the base and then a Plexiglas lid is 
placed over top, possibly within a shallow recess so the lid can't easily slide 
off? While this isn't impenetrable it would certainly drastically reduce any 
concerns and would minimally affect the aesthetic of the piece.

Good luck!

Hello once again!

No beetle questions this time! An artist has proposed an installation that is 
going to include "forest fire debris" (please see attached image). The artist 
has described said "debris" as such:

"...the 'debris' is more or less charcoal and silk, piled in a line about 6" 
high directly beneath the photo. It is the charcoal remains of the forest that 
appears in the photo, so it is essential to the concept of the piece. Some of 
the charcoal retains the shape of pine needles, cones, bark, branches or wood. 
It is fragile and can be crushed by hand. The brown bits you see in the picture 
are charred pieces of silk from the bottom edge of the photo. There are no 
leaves or wood chips.
The charcoal bits have been re-burned and subjected to multiple freeze-thaw 
cycles. The material was screened after cooling down to remove ash and fine 
dust. The reality is that both the charcoal and silk are very fragile and can 
be pulverized in handling as well as shipping which can result in dust."

Obviously there are many concerns about this installation. The artist claims to 
have done freeze-thaw cycles but how much would this actually help in regards 
to keeping pests away. Certainly it could rid the "debris" of any bugs that 
might be in there at present...but what about prevention? We have a prohibited 
items list that we use for flower arrangements and pine cones, bark, branches 
and wood (unless it has been treated) are prohibited. But I am not so sure 
about these items after they have been burned. This work has mainly been in 
galleries in the past...and I think this is the first time it is coming into a 
museum so I don't have any institutions that I can contact to see what they had 
did during install and the duration of the exhibition. I am hoping that we 
could make this work, but no matter how I look at it this install seems like it 
can't happen.

Does anyone have any experience with dealing with piles of charcoal? Are there 
any pests that would be attracted to this material, would they be the same 
types that are attracted to wood and plant matter even though this material has 
been burned down to charcoal? Obviously the dust is also a concern because of 
our HVAC system...but that is a whole separate issue. I am trying to arm myself 
with information so that if/when I have to go to the

Thanks, Rich. I am definitely concerned about not attracting / encouraging 
insect pests.

Tootsie rolls are a great choice. We do use peanut butter in some places, but 
mix this up with diverse other baits. Chocolate often returns desired rewards. 
Note that any of the food-based products may also attract and nourish other 
pests, such as cockroaches and ants. In some places, the bait may disappear 
overnight from the insects that take it away piecemeal... and don't trigger the 
traps. Our pest control vendors also use commercial odorant baits on snap traps 
and other kinds of traps. These are less attractive to insects so don't need to 
be re-baited as frequently.

Tootsie roll slices attached with a hot glue gun. I have incredible success 
with that as a bait. If you use mini t-rex traps the bait will work for years 
as the other mice can't get to it when it snaps shut.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for suggestions for bait for snap trap style mouse traps in our 
collections storage areas. We previously used peanut butter with some success, 
but concerns have been raised about potential staff and visitor allergies due 
to the peanut butter potentially being spread around and urinated out by the 
mice who escape the traps. I read somewhere that gummy bears might work as 
bait, but that was in the context of rat traps and I have not yet tried them 
for mice. (Thankfully, we don't have a rat problem!). Obviously, I would prefer 
a solution that will not add to our insect pest issues. Total exclusion of mice 
is difficult if not impossible as we are in an old building with an infinite 
number of possible entry points.

Sometimes cotton can be effective as a substitute for a food based bait.. Mice 
will use it to line their nests.
