I don't mean to bring up so many negative aspects of using dry ice since it
sounds like an easy method to kill pests, but there are many things to consider
with this type of treatment.

Hi Beau,
I think that your images are of brown-dotted clothes moths, Niditinea fuscella.

openings to the outside, check for bird nests and seal off openings. If that is
not the source, look for the source of the Niditinea moths in discarded

Chris,
I agree with Tom on the identification of the larva as a Trogoderma. It is
extremely difficult to identify Trogoderma larva to a species in the larval
stage. We often will raise them out to adulthood in our insect chamber to
identify down to a species level.

It appears to be a Four-spotted Yellowneck Moth, Oegoconia novimundi. Not a lot
of information out there on this species but it is not likely a museum pest as
its habitat is outdoor on lawns and gardens. It probably just wandered in from
outside.

Hi Lydia,
As Stephan stated, it appears to be a saw-toothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus
surinamensis but these beetles should only be about 3mm in length, not the 7 mm
that you stated. The merchant grain beetle has a smaller temple behind the eye
and is about the same size. Saw-toothed grain

structures in close proximity. Positioning beds of flowering bushes and plants
away from museums or historic houses, lessens that pressure to some degree.

Todd,
You bring up some very good points. The distance a particular lure will attract
an insect is based on insect biology (how much it is motivated by a sex
pheromone), insect mobility (whether it can fly), and where the pheromone ends
up. The pheromone scent coming off of the lures is naked
