Since you cited the sources for the photos you attached, and since one is clearly watermarked as an iStock Photo and since we are linking back to the site if anyone wants to download the image, we don’t think we will be slapped with any copyright infringement suits, so we believe we are safe to include the image.

Or is the ”bookworm” actually the silverfish by the damage it creates in books? This link shows bookworm damage, as well as mentions it actaually being beetle larvae, but dosn’t say what beetle.Īlso, looking up silverfish on WTB, I found that they tend to eat the glue in book bindings. These two links show an actual larvae worm, but it may or may not be an actual ”bookworm”: So, I just googled it, & found a few things. I’ve looked up bookworm/book worm on this site, but found nothing. Location: Anywhere there are books & moisture?
