Live around the bedfordshire/cambridgeshire area? got a rat/rabbit/pidgeon/squirrel problem? send me a PM.

Saint George killed the last dragon, and he was called a hero for it. I've never seen a dragon, and I wish he would have left at least one. Saint Patrick made a name for himself by running the snakes out of Ireland, leaving the place vulnerable to rodent infestation. This business of making saints out of men who exterminate their fellow creatures has got to stop. All I'm saying is, it's starting to get a little lonely up here at the top of the food chain.

I would think booklice they like cardboard and like, can make good feeder for very tiny things but most use springtails for that job these days.

Could just be another species of Springtail, we get beige ones and cream, pink, blue coloured ones native to this country. Hard to tell without a good photo tbh.

if they really are book lice, keep all your books away from them- they eat the glue in the bindings, as well as paper & card. they're not called book lice for nothing!

I gotta say that (excellent) drawing does look like the pics of booklice I've seen.

Also, if you're wanting a good look at them just chuck a couple into a tub and whack it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
