Insect on Bark Barnacle lichen
Squamish, British Columbia, Canada
December 30, 2019
Size: Perhaps 2 mm.
I can't see anything on your site to help me narrow this down. The light was poor and the insect was moving pretty quickly - poor conditions for an id - but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for looking.

Family Dicyrtomidae

Suggestion for comparison ...
Thanks very much. New to me and I can see unlikely to be identified based on this photo. So often I seem to have insects wander into my viewfinder when I am photographing something else much larger!
