Myopsocidae

Size: 4mm for now
Wow! This is the 1:1 lens without enhancements and it shows the same color in the eyes, and the same lack of orange at the distal end of the wings, and only a yellow patch in the mid part of the wings. I was expecting to see the same BL I photographed before, but it is very different!

It is both frustrating, and suspenseful to not know what I have photographed until after I get the photos on the computer. My eyes just don't pick out enough details on the cameras preview screen!

I'm guessing these are the peepers of a male? You may not be invested in guessing as you could likely have a definitive answer soon!
