Bugs eating mount!
I just went to move some mounts around in a glass case, and I just saw where bugs appeared on the feet of my most recent mount. Any idea on what they are and how to get rid of them without further damaging the mount?

I should add, there are about a dozen mounts in this case, and this is the only one that has this problem and is the most recent one. It's looking like whatever kind of bug it is was in the driftwood the taxidermist used and ate some of the wood too.

Get that mount out of the case immediately and away from any other mounts until you poison those. They will spread to all. You might want to poison the other mounts as precaution.

Looks like Dermestid Beetle. Set mount in the freezer to kill beetles and larvae, set bug fogger in room with other mounts.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

Carpet Beetles. Put the mount in the freezer. They'll find other mounts so I would call the bug man quick!
ETA: Those are the carpet beetle larva.

Where do you live? I have some spray that the shuttle driver gave me.
