 found this dead guy in the margin of a collection book. Any ID's?

Also, Is this type of stuff frass (2nd photo)? I frequently see it in inner 
margins of bound books.

Lastly, I have not received any pestlist postings since July although I never 
un-subscribed. How do I re-subscribe?

Thanks!!!

The dermestid larva photo also has a booklouse (psocid).

Good observation!  Yes, I agree that there is a psocid at the rear of the 
Anthrenus sp. larva.   This is not surprising, given ambient RH levels in the 
region.

Wanted to thank everyone very much who responded for their IDs!
Did not see the 2-bugs until it was mentioned! What are the chances there
are 2 in the exact location on a page!


Does everyone think the black dots are frass? The page color is white...
I frequently see this in book inner margins even in our climate controlled

It could be frass – it is hard to tell from the image. You would have to look 
at it under magnification.

[pestlist] Recommended zoom magnification in microscopes

[pestlist]

Hi all,

Looking to purchase a new microscope for our IPM program and am wondering
if any of you can recommend an appropriate zoom magnification? I'm
currently looking at one that 35x zoom, and another that's 40x zoom. The
cost difference is quite significant (almost double), so I'd like to ensure
I select the correct one, not just the one that suits financially.

I'd like something that covers a broad range of pesky critters, from
beetles to booklice. Would 35x zoom magnification suffice? Any information
and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks!

I wonder whether instead of a new microscope you might want to consider 
something like the Dino-Lite which many members of the IPM Working Group have 
found a useful tool for both magnification and imaging

RE: [pestlist] Recommended zoom magnification in microscopes

I use a Pro-scope HR2 -  https://www.bodelin.com/proscope .  I like it, but the 
dino-lite stand looks better than mine.  I see that the Pro-scope now has a 
wireless unit which might have its advantages.

I use several of the Proscopes daily. There's a diverse array of lenses that 
are interchangeable, the images are quite useful, and the devices are simple to 
use. The USB-wired Proscope connects to Mac or Windows computers. The wifi 
enabled version works only with iOS devices, such as an ipad or iphone. 
Software is free. Bodelin also offers a micro-mini that attaches to a case that 
fits specific tablets and phones. I use those as well.

Should anyone be interested, IdentifyUS is an authorized reseller of the 
Bodelin products. Feel free to contact me for advice, information and price 
quotes for US purchases.

I agree. My Dino-Lite has been a useful tool for many years.
