Hi-
It's possible that it is some kind of 'fly spotting' from the housefly or similar; which as you alluded to- results from feeding or defecation. I had a somewhat similar situation with a housefly infestation. ________________________________ From: pestlist@museumpests.net <pestlist@museumpests.net> Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 3:19 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: [pestlist] Specks on hard candy Hello, I am hoping that some of you can help me identify possible fecal specks that were found on hard pieces of candy that are part of an installation piece. (See photo attached.) The candy is from a company named Peerless (now out of business) and the flavor is Queen Bee Honey, Green Apple. Has anyone encountered similar specks on pieces of hard candy? I was told that the candy was purchased in 2007... Thanks in advance for your help, Rachel
