Thanks, Tony, that’s helpful. Dee From: pestlist@googlegroups.com [mailto:pestlist@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tony Irwin Sent: Friday, September 17, 2021 3:37 PM To: pestlist@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [PestList] RE: Need pest id help
Hi Dee It's a bit tricky with the photo quality, but at least some of the specimens appear to have the attenuated wings that are typical of Dorypteryx. If you do an image search for that genus, you will be able to see the form of the adult (with wings) and the nymphs (without). If they are Dorypteryx, this is a booklouse/barklouse that is turning up more frequently in museums and galleries, but it seems to cause few serious problems. As others have said, it would be a sign that humidity levels may be a bit high.

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?

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?
