I'm not sure if this is an insect ... I pulled apart a wisp of moss from the side of a honey locust trunk and found this tiny creature. Photographed with a microscope and a cell phone

happy to see you moving images!
Diane, we still have quite a jam at the order level -- a dozen pages of thumbnais -- would you please move those, too?

Yes, Lepinotus
It's not L. patruelis, which is uniformly dark across head and abdomen. I haven't seen L. inquilinus. This specimen is highly likely to be Lepinotus reticulatus. Specimens often lose the wings. The coloration and shape of the abdomen fit L. reticulatus well.
