Dear all,

In April 2017 we recorded a new booklice not seen previously in our museum. 
Darren Mann identified as Lepinotus reticulatus and I have included a picture 
of the species which is identifiable by its thick hairs and stumpy wings.

Curious to know if any other UK museums seen this pest before?

Hi,

The short-winged one is Lepinotus reticulatus - it's a domestic species and 
potentially a pest. New to our list I believe.
