Thrips
Copyright © 2007 Stephen Luk

Thrips
Richmond Hill, York Region, Ontario, Canada
June 26, 2007
Size: 1.5 mm
Here's a good side view of what I think that this is a Common Thrip [Family: Thripidae]. Note the narrow, pointed wings, which are supposed to be characteristic to this family.

Each background dot is approximately 0.5mm in diameter.

Thanks for the ID, Dennis!
Hopefully someone can create a guide page for this common family.
