Wow.
Stunning images again, Tom. But, again, can you please elaborate on how species ID was achieved? Thank you.

Thanks Eric
The 3 dots running across the middle of the wing seems to be distinctive for this species as mentioned in this other photo.

Ideas on this one?

At first I thought it was
Psocus leydi

If it wasn't for the wing vein difference, it looks the same.
Philip Careless identified a bunch of Psocids last year, and maybe if he's still checking in he could figure it out.

, actually looks closer:
But the wing veins are not quite the same--very confusing.
