A little under 2mm. Hard to see, but this appears to have long wings held higher than a rove beetle. Just looks like a black drop that was thin and elongated by eye. I was surprised to see colors in the photos. Red and white colors. The apex of the abdomen looks deep red. The head is virtually spherical. The red collar is unique in my experience. It had absolutely no concern about my photographing it. I took quite a few Photos with flash due to its small size. They all came out about the same. The complete lack of motion makes me wonder if it was dead! Any guesses?

I've settled on Aeolothrips, though the antennae seem a bit longer than usual.

It's a little embarrassing not knowing the names of plants, but it was the type where long narrow leaves grow from a short central stalk. Leaves lower on the plant bow flex extending away from the center, and the ones near the center bow only slightly. There is a groove in the center, making it gull-wing shaped in cross section. The edge of the long leaves look straight to the eye, but magnification shows the edges to have saw-like teeth. I doubt adding this lame plant description will help anyone. But I'll add one last bit. Even though the leaves are at least 4 feet long and a couple inches wide I generally see only very small insects. 3mm weevils, 2mm ladybugs, lots of small jumping spiders, blue-green sharpshooters, small plant bugs. It is a different set of bugs than on the other things I look at.
