Thanks Stephan, Very true. Our museum environment is not as tightly controlled as we’d like and silverfish are an all too common occurrence for us. I did notice the silverfish and the cricket on the trap. My main query at the moment, though, is the proper identification of the smaller species along the edge of the glue surface – would you agree that these book lice? Dee

Best, Stephan Von: pestlist@googlegroups.com<mailto:pestlist@googlegroups.com> <pestlist@googlegroups.com<mailto:pestlist@googlegroups.com>> Im Auftrag von Dee Stubbs-Lee Gesendet: Donnerstag, 16. September 2021 13:49 An: pestlist@googlegroups.com<mailto:pestlist@googlegroups.com> Betreff: [PestList] Need pest id help Hi everyone, Can someone help me with a positive id of the tiny insects around the perimeter of the sticky trap? Sorry it’s not the clearest photo, but I’ve included a ballpoint pen tip to give an idea of scale. These turn up from time to time. I tend to describe these as “mites” or “unknown” in my IPM records. They’re seem to be most common in areas with more moisture such as basement level concrete floors but I’ve occasionally seen them on upper floors as well. In this instance, these were collected in basement level geology collections storage with an unfinished concrete floor. Are they a direct threat to collections? And what should I properly call them in my records?
