[Nhcoll-l] [EXTERNAL] IPM pest identification guides

[Jennifer Bowser]

Hi Liz,

I recommend joining MuseumPests.net  pest listserv as well (link:
https://museumpests.net/join-the-pestlist/). 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.

Cheers,
Jennifer
