Graphopsocus cruciatus
I agree with "Psocoptera". The wing markings and vein patterns on this species is unlike most other Psocoptera in North America...five dark black marks in the first half of the wing and a light beige "F" mark in the second half of the wing. A species of Cerastipsocus also has an "F" but the discoidal cell (in the centre of the wing) is very different. Graphopsocus cruciatus; Family Stenopsocidae is thought to have been introduced in the 1930 to both the east and west coast from Europe or Asia. After quickly spreading up and down both coasts it is now slowly moving inland.

Agreed.
I agree on the ID, but mostly wanted to compliment you on the lovely images of such tiny insects! Thank you for sharing.

thanks
Thanks for the ID and compliment, Richard and Eric.

I was pretty happy with the photos, too, but I think that it's more due to equipment than photographer.

I'm moving these three images to Psocoptera.
