Small hexapod found in G. bimaculatus cages - Liposcelis

Small hexapod found in G. bimaculatus cages - Liposcelis
Size: 1 mm in length
Very small hexapod found in lab cages of Gryllus bimaculatus. About 1 mm in length. Image with black bars -- 1 mm between bars. I don't know if the individual in the pictures is an adult but I didn't see any larger ones, and all the smaller ones were basically transparent, possibly because they just molted but I have no idea.

Liposcelis sp., looks like an adult
