Unknown Bark Louse - Echmepteryx madagascariensis
Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA
February 17, 2016
Size: 1.75 mm
This is one of the several bark lice that were found inside a folded piece of cardboard that had been wired to a sand live oak tree for several months. All of the bark lice appear to be the same species in different stages of development. The wings have very distinctive scales.
