Extract

The Fire Brat, Thermobia domestica Packard, seems to have been in Eastern Canada for some time. Since, as its nick-name indicates, it is a heat-loving species, favouring steam-heated buildings, it has probably been established in the country for a long time although the records of its distribution in Canada are few and are all fairly recent.
