Nymphs - Cerastipsocus venosus

Moved from Psocidae.

Cerastipsocus venosus
This is a group of nymph Cerastipsocus venosus; Family Psocidae. They are one of the more conspicuous species in the East. I often see nymphs and adults clustered together in large groups on smooth tree trunks. The nymphs can be IDed thanks to the yellow and brown striped abdomens. They are one of the largest barklouse in eastern North America.

from ID Request to Psocoptera; don't know whether they can be IDed further...

Bark Lice!
Cool! What a dazzling wardrobe on these guys:-) These are indeed nymphs, of bark lice (aka "tree cattle") in the order Psocoptera. Nice capture of some interesting insects.
