Myopsocidae

Myopsocidae
Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
August 26, 2017
Size: 4mm for now
The first photo looks like his eye is falling out (because of the angle) and the second one looks like his head is chopped off (same reason). I might have better photos. I took too many!

Unchartered territory..Don't know if it's Lichenomima or Myopsocus. This could be a new one. Please do send me the specimen.

 
I found a better photo of the wings...
Frame 3 is the new high res wing view. Frame 4 was just for verification that it was the right subject, and colors were accurate. ...I was surprised by what I saw. I'm not sure if it is just bad photography. I'm trying to get more magnification with a standard lens...I haven't looked at the 1:1 photos yet. If they look extremely different I'm going to scream!
