What do your insect traps look like? It's ok if you just can't tell. All bugs look like potential threats when you first start off learning about integrated pest management. To start you off, you don't need to get down to species level. You can ask for help and categorise them like this: - Yes Pest. Check @museumpests website to help ID. - No Pest. Accidental visitor that won't harm collections, but would be good to figure out how it got in here. If this got in, real pests can do it too. - No Pest. Regular inhabitant predator (e.g. spider). Don't worry, but maybe intensify cleaning if possible. - No Pest. Humidity indicator (e.g. springtails and woodlice). Certain insects will like very humid environments so finding them means you probably have a humidity issue to resolve. . . . ___ Follow for more memes and bite-sized useful information you can use to care for collections!

Museum Pests is an illustration project commissioned by my friend Sylvia Haliman, an objects conservator who is working in heritage conservation. Sylvia wrote some rhymes on museum pests for her personal project, and I was commissioned to do these illustrations for her poems. 👉 https://www.geefaneng.com/work/museum-pests #museumpests #museumpestsillustration #museumillustration #nonfictionillustration #informationillustration #illustration #animalillustration #illustrationproject #minifanfan #geefaneng https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZSokfh8lD/?igshid=1gn7nrenzg0zt
