Corylophidae? - Orthoperus

Corylophidae? - Orthoperus
Ames, Story County, Iowa, USA
March 1, 2007
Size: 1 mm
I am rather proud of this pic... it's not 'Tom Murray quality', but I think it's pretty decent considering how tiny this was... he decided to stretch the wings out in this pic...

collected with some rotting wood... quite numerous in my gladware container... I probably have a couple dozen I could get together for a group shot... seems to resemble Orthoperus... can anyone verify this?

almost same like mine
Photo#204979. Size should be less than 1mm long? There are long marginal setae on the transparent wings for my microbeetle. However, setae can be only seen under microscope.
