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?
