Dear Megan, The EMU IPM module was born of efforts by participants in the MuseumPests Working Group many years ago and it is great to see that it is still in use. To make the module more useful to an even wider audience we would be happy to share information from the MuseumPests Fact Sheet database. You can see some of the information, which is currently available on our website from the Identifications page. https://museumpests.net/dynamic-pest-fact-sheets/ To better view the information click on View larger version in the lower right hand corner of the image window which takes you to Airtable https://airtable.com/appDYIyYgYCS7jY4V/shrwW9TvxEPzxBgFQ/tblfPxSscLxUyo9c5?viewControls=on
There are currently 164 pests listed in our database, although not all have full fact sheets available online. In return we'd love to have French translations for the common names and any of the other search terms which we can make available on the website. Please contact me via email if you'd like to discuss further.
