Barklice, hatchlings ex egg case

Barklice, hatchlings ex egg case
Twin Springs Park, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
The whitish bits are...some sort of exuviae, I think...leftover from the nymphs' emergence? Or perhaps the nymphs have already molted once? I don't recall this material being present before the nymphs emerged.

Very interesting!
Psocids of the genus Amphigerontia lay eggs masses like this. Would love to know what these nymphs looked like as adults.

 
I wish I could tell you
but unfortunately, they did not survive to adulthood :(
