Moved from Psocidae.

 
Thank You
Thanks v.

Thank You, Moved
Thanks Philip. Moved from Barklice and Booklice.

Family Psocidae
This is certainly a member of the family Psocidae. Wing venation is my preferred character for this family but the size, shape and facial markings are all indicative of species within this family.

I am working to understand the facial markings for this family but at the moment can't take it farther. This is another big eyed male (for finding females).

This is a Bark Louse
This is a bark louse, order Psocoptera.

 
Bark Louse.
Thanks Stephen. I'll leave this here for a little bit but we haven't gotten much past the level of order so I'll move it after a while.
