Thank you
very much for the identification. I wish I could find more adult bark lice, but I seem to keep finding nymphs instead. :) I'll keep looking.

Is this creature covered with hairs?
Could you count the flagellomeres for me?

March 3: Yes it
is covered in hairs. It appears to have 18 flagellomeres, but I will need to look at it again to be accurate.

March 7: I'm adding another photo to show the body hairs, as well as a photo to show the flagellomeres. I'm having trouble counting the flagellomeres, but it looks like a lot more than my original count of 18. It looks like more than 30 to me. They are very small near the tip and my magnification isn't that great.
