Ann A higher resolution image would help, also an indication of size. David -----Original Message----- From: pestlist-ow...@museumpests.net [mailto:pestlist-ow...@museumpests.net] On Behalf Of Ann Shaftel Sent: 07 March 2011 10:49 To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: [pestlist] Please identify! I send this request for insect identification from the Himalayan foothills where I am currently working to advise on preservation of a Buddhist monastery's sacred art. These insects appear in the springtime in large numbers, and according to the Abbot of the monastery, they come from the surrounding forest/jungle where wild monkeys live, and enter into the base of this large concrete structure called a Stupa. The Monastery wishes to know the name of the insects, why they enter in such large numbers into the base of the concrete structure in the springtime, and what they are feeding on. The Monastery wishes to discourage the insects because pilgrims cannot avoid stepping on them. Attached are images of the concrete Stupa structure, the insects entering the structure, and as close a closeup as possible of one insect. Please reply to annshaf...@mac.com with your knowledge, identifications and suggestions! If you need me to send a jpg of better resolution directly to your email, I shall gladly do that. Thank you all SO much, Ann Ann Shaftel MA MS FIIC, FAIC, CAPC http://annshaftel.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------- To send an email to the list, send your msg to pestlist@museumpests.Net To unsubscribe from this list send an email to imail...@museumpests.net and in the body put: "unsubscribe pestlist" Any problems email l...@zaks.com
