Hi all, Is this a possible infestation in my collection? There are lots of these "threads" all over the insect, the clearest photo i could get was on the antennae. Are these signs of an infestation or just dust/fibres? many thanks! JCobain attached the following image:  [193.02Kb] Edited by JCobain on 25-11-2021 12:22 |

It is fungus and a sign that your collection is kept in circumstances that are too humid.
