The following photographs show

the commonest psocids found in British homes.

Trogium pulsatorium female. Trogium is found most often in old slightly damp houses, it reproduces slowly and is rarely of any annoyance.

Lepinotus patruelis female above male below. Lepinotus is found in grain stores and can be found in kitchens and other food storage areas. Although occasionally a minor problem in commercial grain stores, it is usually of little pest significance.

Liposcelis bostrychophila is the predominant psocid pest of domestic kitchens in the UK.
