I wouldn’t be too concerned if we were only finding them on traps adjacent to exterior doors, but the one in the photo was discovered in a collection space that (in theory) is sealed better. It is 1cm long. Any guesses? Turns out, a google search of “tiny black caterpillar that isn’t fuzzy” doesn’t help very much…. (Is it even a caterpillar?! Sorry for the general non-entomologist term!) Thanks!
