A psocid with color!
This was fun. It is in the genus Elipsocus. It appears to agree with E. pumilis but I have never seen members of the family Elipsocidae. Dr. Mockford just left for 2 weeks in Arizona but maybe he will check his email while there. I'll send it on to him for expert opinion.

Damp Barklice?!
First of all, thanks, Diane. But seriously, do the same people who name quarks name barklice families? I actually enjoy the names, and wonder what new ones are in store!
