Do you have a favorite bookworm? We do! And our book-lover is sure to interest just about any bibliophile.

Facts: Lots of microorganisms like to curl up with a good book - and eat it. Silverfish and book lice are some of the more commonly encountered specimens, not to mention termites, moths, cockroaches, carpet beetles, biscuit beetles, drugstore beetles, powder-post beetles, spiders beetles, larder beetles, death-watch beetles and a hos of others.

However Anobium punctatum is the classic bookworm primarily responsible for tunneling holes through the pages of old codices and manuscripts. It is the larvae of A. punctatum that is actually the bibliophage. It spends up to five years devouring pulpy leaves of fact and fiction. Then it pupates, undergoes a metamorphosis, spreads its wings and flies away.
