Wow!
Thanks for the i.d.
Neuroptera would not have been my first guess, although the eyes and wing posture should have helped get me there. There don't seem to be many web resources for Coniopterygids; I haven't been able to find a key or a checklist for British Columbia (or even for Canada). Arnett's range data
(
1
)
seems to indicate that the genus would be
Coniopteryx
,
Conwentziini
(
C. Californica
is listed as present in very nearby Washington State), or
Semidalis
(which has no range data associated).
I'll have to pay more attention to these little guys.
I added a detail of the original shot and another shot of the same subject.

Coniopterygid
You can see the chewing mouthparts quite clearly; also, the wing venation is much more highly developed than that of whiteflies.

Look at
Whiteflies, family
Aleyrodidae
Dustywings, family
Coniopterygidae
I'm leaning toward the latter, but I don't know them that well.
