On the subject of booklice... I have heard different opinions about booklice. I have heard people say they are more indicators of higher RH environments that can be unfavorable to art, not necessarily damaging the art themselves. I have been told they just scrape microscopic mold off surfaces (oftentimes paper/books), and don't really "damage" the paper material. It's hard to know what to believe online... Can someone confirm or deny whether booklice actually damage objects?
Thanks!
