I do not agree. Drywood termites would tunnel right through all the pages not just be limited to the inside cover. Tom Parker On Nov 11, 2024, at 1:44 PM, Thor Minnick <minnickassocia...@hawaii.rr.com> wrote:

Hello, I was shown two volumes that have evidence of burrowing/feeding through pages and even the covers. I assume that these could be this could be the work of countless species, I'm guessing that this was likely a larva of some kind, but I don't know for sure. I didn't find any bodies or feces in either books or on the shelves they were on, so I have my suspicions that this could've been from along ago, but I wanted to share because I haven't encountered anything like this before. Should these books be isolated from other collections? Thank you.
Best, Patrick
