Re: [PestList] Identification help

It is a plant-feeding bug (Heteroptera), probably family Miridae. These insects feed on plant sap, so are not going to damage your collections. As an accidental visitor, it just needs sweeping up and putting outside, though this one will be as happy in a bin! Tony Dr A.G.Irwin 47 The Avenues Norwi

They are *Dorypteryx*, one of the domestic psocids that appear to be more frequently found in museums and galleries these days. From what I can gather, they are not known to be very damaging to collections. Tony Dr A.G.Irwin 47 The Avenues Norwich Norfolk NR2 3PH England mobile: +44(0)7880707834

Re: [PestList] Identification help!

Interesting for all. We have not had that type of larger book louse before, so I'm still worried there is damp/mold somewhere. And for the mites, we did only find them on traps with a significant number of psocids, ~100-200 on the traps where we found the mites. On Thu, Nov 4, 2021 at 2:56 PM Al

Re: [PestList] Identification help!

We have those same mites in our traps. They seem to appear almont only in traps with booklice. Since we have no plants in the collection storage areas, I'm assuming they are some sort of predatory mite feeding on booklouse nymphs, but that is just a working theory. Alan *Alan Van Dyke * Senior

Re: [PestList] Identification help!

Hi Christina The winged insects are booklice (Psocoptera) - most likely *Psyllipsocus ramburii*, which is known from domestic situations. The larva looks most like one of the Malachiidae beetle larvae. Sorry, I can't help much with the mites. Best wishes Tony Dr A.G.Irwin 47 The Avenues Norwich No

Yes, one is a 'moth fly' (Psychodidae). The other is consistent with a 'scuttle fly' (Phoridae). Both kinds develop in wet / moist decaying organic material. For sources, look first to dry or fouled plumbing drains. Next, look for decaying food and food wastes. Finally, consider an animal carcas
