<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Liz,<div><br></div><div>I recommend joining MuseumPests.net pest listserv as well (link: <a href="https://museumpests.net/join-the-pestlist/">https://museumpests.net/join-the-pestlist/</a>). If you're able to get quality photographs of any insects/potential pests in question, you can post them to the listserv and you'll find it's one of the best resources to look for help. It's an active and well-used listserv and our knowledgeable pest experts working in the field are nothing short of amazing when it comes to helping out.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Jennifer</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Sep 11, 2018 at 12:39 PM Dahlberg, Elisa <<a href="mailto:elisa_dahlberg@fws.gov">elisa_dahlberg@fws.gov</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Liz,<div><br></div><div>There are a handful of good resources out there.
