Black tube-tailed thrips

Black tube-tailed thrips
Presidio, Rob Hill Campground, San Francisco County, California, USA
January 23, 2021
Size: 1.5 mm
Made a semi-permanent slide mount in Euparal after soaking in 95% ethanol for a while. Given that this is a dark, sclerotized thrips, I probably should have cleared in 10% KOH, perhaps? Wings are strap-like and antennae appear 8-segmented.
