Good morning, Crista. The third photo is of a mite and the fourth is of a springtail.

I'm thinking they are Varied Carpet Beetles, but would love some confirmation on that. This trap is in a conference room with many windows. Not usually used for collections, but a staff member recently decided to use the space to sort a large potential donation. Also on the trap are a few very small (less than 1 mm in length)...something. My tick-phobia makes me afraid that they are ticks, but I know that doesn't make much sense. I thought I would post the images here (labeled unknown) and see if anyone has an idea - they were too small for me to get a very good image, so I understand if an accurate ID cannot be made from these images. Thanks for your help! Best, Crista Crista Pack Objects Conservator Missouri Historical Society -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
