[Strawbale] Re: insects... (Rikki Nitzkin

[forum at lamaisonenpaille...]

Hello Lieve,

These insects live on fungus created on the straw when the straw is 
humid. If they stayed for a long time or came back, it is probably a 
sign that a high level of humidity was present/came back in the bales. 
Probably 'Not a good thing'...

Bye,
