@greenfingers26 Hello, unfortunately I probably wouldn't be able to help as I only deal with insect pests relating to museum collections. There's a lot of information on insect id online e.g. Royal Entomological Society, The Woodland Trust, RHS. Good Luck!

What is made of leather, a foot long, and sounds like a sneeze? A shoe!.. Today’s #ProtectedWreck #LondonWreck1665 objects are leather shoes and other leather objects. #ArchivingDay3of5 has involved packing some lovely leather shoes ready for transport!
