This specimen ...
also resembles the female of Propsocus pulchripennis but, as far as I know, it's never been recoded east of the Rockies! For what it's worth.

Moved from Barklice, Booklice, and Parasitic Lice.

This one is interesting...
if the antennae are dark to the tip it is a last instar nymph of the macropterous form of Valenzuela nadleri. This form seems rare. Please look for more and get a better shot. I'd love to see the adult macropterous female!!

I'll do my best.
I'm not sure how much better a shot will be possible with my little point-and-shoot, though. :)
