div.yiv2181073104WordSection1 {}--> Hello all, Can anyone tell me what I
am seeing on this hide/fur object from Namibia? There does not appear to be
any live pest activity (I believe it made its way to Connecticut in the 1970s
and has been in this box ever since) but the fur is completely gone where there
is evidence of the most debris, and feeding holes are present in the hide
itself. We are hoping to rehab this object, but need an id on this
detritus/pest first. No idea if these pests originated in southern Africa or
New England. Thanks! Wendi WENDI FIELD MURRAY, PHD COLLECTIONS
