Dr. Mockford is interested in this one.
He says it is Camelopsocus but may be a new species. Any chance you could collect some and preserve them in alcohol? You could send them to me and I'll pass them on or I could give you his address.

Certainly not out of the question.
I suspect there were multiple species going on then; I had about 40 barklice specimens in total, but I didn't photograph them all.

You can find my email in my account page. I have zero knowledge on where to buy such alcohol, what the process is, what to store them in etc. so if you could let me know then sure this could be possible if I find more.

Not much new going on though.

I'm guessing Camelopsocus...
but I will have to consult Mockford for a species ID.
