This is a most unusual psocid!
Never seen that forewing pattern before! If you ever see another, please capture it. It is either a new species for North America, a recent arrival here, or a melanistic mutant.

Dr. Mockford would like to take a closer look.

Unfortunately...
I don't. I can check and see if I got any other photos, but I don't usually collect barklice at my lights since there are always so many.
