a nymph of some sort - Mesopsocus unipunctatus
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA
June 12, 2007
I actually found this tiny insect in an antique store and carried him outside to some plants. He was very small and skittish so this was the only non-blurry image I got. I didn't get to measure him, but those are my arm hairs in the picture, so you can see he/she was very tiny.

it does look like it
I would say they wouldn't want it in their antique store, then. It was cute, though. Thank you for the ID.
