Hello John,

I agree with Nancy, it looks like the minute brown scavenger beetle, 
Latridiidae family.  What type of environment did you find it in?  Several 
years ago, we had quite a few show up for unexplained reasons, then they were 
gone.

Thanks,
Amy

John,
The beetle looks like a minute brown scavenger beetle family Latridiidae, genus 
malanophthalma.  Not sure of species.

Greetings pestlisters,

We caught this small beetle, Trap#5022-1a, in a sticky trap on 4/30/2014  in 
Pittsburgh PA.
It measures a little more than 1.5 mm long.
It seems to have 9 or so small ridges along each side of its thorax.

We also caught this small larva, Trap#5033-3b, in the same area.
It measures less than 1.5 mm long.
It was alive when captured.

Any ideas?  Latridiidae maybe?
Thanks!

[pestlist] Threshold levels

I am interested in finding out information about insect threshold levels in 
museums and collections.  Obviously, insects can get into buildings and be 
found on monitoring devices such as sticky traps, but they do not warrant any 
type of control.  How do you determine control when nothing in particular is 
infested?  Any resources on threshold levels would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Amy K. Miller

Hello,

I am curious what others are using in their collections for general pest 
control and if anyone has had psocids visiting their collections.  I've just 
discovered psocids in an insect and herbarium cabinet and am interested in 
finding out if anyone else has had this issue and how it was corrected.

Thank you,
Amy K. Miller
