Help me catch the book louse. Looking for Liposcelis divinatorius

Community and Forum → Entomological collections → Help me catch the book louse. Looking for Liposcelis divinatorius

guest: AP, 29.10.2008 20:46

Dear colleagues,
Please help us find the book louse (Liposcelis (Troctes) divinatorius) or dust louse (Trogium pulsatorium) for research in the field of functional anatomy as part of the insect miniaturization project. According to the literature, they should be in almost every home, but I and all my friends do not have them. Please respond, happy owners. Science won't forget you!

I don't have the designated insect, but (according to my recollection) I found small, wingless hay-eaters in the village house, in damp stacks of books. Maybe the advice to search for dachas will come in handy?

In what form are they needed??? I have something resembling them found on the balcony (and even try to eat the beetles drying there). But now they can go into diapause...
