Barklouse - Teliapsocus conterminus

Barklouse - Teliapsocus conterminus
Greenwood County, South Carolina, USA
March 5, 2005
Size: ~7mm, head to tip of wing
Found on the siding of the shady side of my house.

Moved

Teliapsocus conterminus
It is a great photo I would assume that this rotund individual is a female full of eggs. The fine clear hairs along the front half of the forewing, the big arching Cubital Loop (a U shaped vein on the top-middle of the forewing), the parallel nature of the M and Rs veins and the bicoloured pterostigma makes this Teliapsocus conterminus; Family Dasydamellidae. Don't worry she will not do any damage to your house (unless you place is made of algae and fungus...)

Great portrait.
Just had to compliment you on a great image of this insect. Nice work, Mike:-)

 
Thanks!
I appreciate it!
