Principal household insects of the United States . Fl( ?12.—Lepisma saccharina;enlarged (original). adult- 1 Micrographia, R. llooke, London, 1665. 77 difficult to capture, and being clothed with smooth, glistening scales, itwill slip from between the fingers and is almost impossible to securewithout crushing or damaging. It is one of the most serious pests inlibraries, particularly to the binding of books, and will frequently eatoff the gold lettering to get at the paste beneath, or, as reported byMr. P. K. CThler, of Baltimore, often gnaws off white slips glued on thebacks of books. Heavily glazed paper seems very attractive to thisinsect, and it has frequently happened that the labels in ninseiiin collections have been disfigured or destroyed by it, the glazed surfacehaving been entirelyeaten off. In soniccases books printed onheavily sized paperwill have the surfaceof the leaves a gooddeal scraped, .leavingonly the portions cov-ered by the ink. It willalso eat any starched. clothing, linen, or cur-tains, and has beenknown to do very se-rious damage to silkswhich had probablybeen stiffened withsizing. Its damage inhouses, in addition toits injury to books, consists in causingthe wall paper to scaleoff by its feeding onthe starch paste. Itoccasionally gets intovegetable drugs orsimilar material ledundisturbed for long periods.

It is a worm likeinsect about one-third of an inch in length, tapering from near thehead to the extremity of the body. The head carries two prominentantennae, and at the tip of the body are three long, bristle-shapedappendages, one pointing directly backward and the other t wo extend-ing out at a considerable angle.
