Liposcelis bostrychophila
Adult booklice inhabit warm, humid corners of homes, warehouses, book bindings, and stored products. They feed by scraping mould, fungi, pollen, and starchy debris from surfaces. This species is commonly wingless and rapidly hides in narrow cracks when disturbed. Females can reproduce without mating, allowing populations to build quickly where moisture is plentiful.
