RE: [pestlist] Fly damage on a book
This is a message from the Museumpests List.

From my view, the “droppings” might also be from Cockroaches or Silverfish. Both of these insects will chew on paper and use the book as harborage. The book is very old and the “paper” might actually be a source of nutrition for some insects. The book might have been held in such a way as to be exposed to the environment giving the insects access to the pages. Are the “droppings” totally dry or can you wipe them off? Are they greasy? Do they smear?

The book is about 300 years old and was transported from Yemen to Austria long time ago and is now in the national library. I think it looks like fly droppings but I am happy for other suggestions!! We have no idea why this book was so attractive for the flies. The spots can be removed mechanically and have a small relief, bus some stains remain.

RE: [pestlist] Identification Help
This is a message from the Museumpests List. To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- Hi, The common name of this fly is Fungus Gnat. Typically this insect is associated with potted plants that are over-watered. Over-watering potted plants promotes fungal growth which the immature stage, maggot, feeds on. Inspect the plant soil and look for the tiny maggots AND shake the plant and see if you observe any adult gnats fly around. If the plant(s) are the source, you can remove them or discard them if possible. Fungus gnats also can be found in damp areas with decaying organic matter. An insecticidal soap can be used to treat the potting soil and mitigate the maggot stages. Additionally, you can install yellow colored sticky traps in the potted plants to monitor for these gnats. Hope this helps.

Number 5 insect is a winged termite or Alate form. It is a reproductive. No sure of the species. I would need more information. A guess would be a drywood termite. Cant really tell from the photo. Did you just find a single sample or were many present? . The other beetle and larva appear to be dermestidae. The next appears to be a case-making clothes moth cocoon with larval caste skin.
