Due to an unfortunate infestation by the giant driller beetle (scarabaeus maleficus gargantua) at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects, the museum has had to close temporarily in order to carry out an eradication programme. Native to Hawaii, these insects are noted for their powerful jaws and have been known to bore their way through concrete. They are believed to have arrived in a consignment of objects on loan from the Museum of Sporting Impedimenta, Honolulu.
