Lena, It looks kind of like a phorid fly. They sometimes appear in janitor's closets around mop buckets and/or standing water in floor drains. From what I know, I don't think they are considered threats to museum objects, other than they themselves becoming a food source for other problem insects. -Todd On Mon, Nov 13, 2017 at 8:42 AM, Lena Hernandez <[email protected]> wrote: > This is a message from the Museumpests.net List. > To post to this list send it as an email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe look at the footer of this email. > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Hi all, > > > > One of my interns found this bug in a box of textiles.
