You're correct - they are not a threat to the collections, except when they die, there's quite a few potential meals for other pests in one of them! They are attracted to light, and I'd suggest they flew in through an open window some evening.

I would feel more assured having some of your educated eyes look at them. I am curious how the two got in the gallery space. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
