Tiny Hemiptera - Plinthisus brevipennis
Lantzville, Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
February 22, 2017
Size: 2.8 mm
Tiny black Hemiptera found on tree bark near the base of the tree. I have no idea of family so any help is greatly appreciated.

That is a front leg that fell off to the right of the picture.
