<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 373548, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I have found that antique clothing that has never been dry cleaned has the ability to develop tiny holes caused by eggs that were laid years ago when the clothes were made. Some of these eggs last for years and years finally hatching but the larva dies quickly leaving tiny holes. I had several deer antlers mounted after being found in the woods. They were on display for years and never had a problem. I had stored them in a closet for several years. I opened the box and there were several worms crawling around. I ended up trashing the box and its contents. That is when I found out about eggs hatching years later.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
