Booklouse

Found in damp, dark, and warm areas inside buildings such as libraries, kitchens, pantries, and bathrooms, often associated with mold or decaying plant matter.

Microscopic molds, fungi, starches, and cereal grains.

They are wingless, cannot jump, and tend to run rapidly when disturbed. They thrive in high humidity environments.

They do not bite humans, spread disease, or damage wood, but can contaminate stored food products and be a nuisance in large numbers due to damp conditions.
