Booklouse

Found indoors in damp, warm areas, libraries, pantries, and wall voids with high humidity.

Feeds on microscopic molds, fungi, starch-based glues in bookbindings, and dry stored food products.

Active runners that cannot fly; populations consist mostly of parthenogenetic females reproducing rapidly in humid conditions.

Harmless to humans and pets, does not bite or transmit disease, but acts as a nuisance pest and can damage stored goods or book bindings.
