So, I get a PM a while back about a possible beetle in a sitck from a pass. At that time, I hit my humi and take out the 'suspect' stick...a single I have in the top draw.
Today, for whatever reason, I'm up and around these weeeee-hours and decide to rummage around in the humi.
As I reach to see what's behind a box of SLR - Lonnies(98)...I notice something on top of the box...NO!
Ummm, yes.
A little pile if tobacco dust and a little white fur-ball. CHIT!
I pick it up with a tissue and sure enough, it's a little larva!
Now, the top draw has slot in it leading to the next shelf...and so on.
I look at the top draw and sure enough, there's an ever so slight amount of dust near the edge of the divider...right near an open slot down!
This was the location of the suspect stick.
The bug must have dug out and was sitting on top of the box of 98 lonnies(a beetle with good taste!).
I then fly through the boxes and when I get to a Monte 2006 release I notice that the 'spots' are moving...I blink...and they are still moving....mites. (not harmful but I disposed of them any way).
Needless to say, I only have a few open singles(most are cello'd or bagged)...but those few are now bagged and will be smoked. The 'mite' box will be segmented and smoked over the next few days.
Good grief....what an interesting morning.
Of note, I keep the humi around 65rh and the room it's in doesn't really get above 70 to often.
