Leather Loafer
What type of insects/larvae consume leather?
I just found a pair of 100% genuine leather loafers in a storage room in my house. One of the shoes is fine, but the other loafer's tongue and leather string has been eaten significantly by what looks like an insect's dirty work. Any ideas what type of bug it may be?
Also what can I do to repair the loafer? I still want to wear them.
Ten points for the best answer. 
My dear ti's Cockroaches, they will eat anything that humans do and will also eat wallpaper, curtains, leather and any other organic material.
