[Nhcoll-l] Phorids in dermestid colony

[Susan Gallagher]

Hello List,

Longtime lurker here, with a phorid fly infestation in one of my 
dermestid beetle colonies. I thought I'd gotten them all out when I 
removed some specimens that weren't quite as dry as normal. Those 
specimens had adult flies and larvae. I moved everything to a new tank 
and don't see any more larvae, but some adults are still in there 
scuttling around.

Is there a chance the colony is salvageable, or should I just get rid of it?

Thanks.

Sue
