Lizard Barklouse - Xanthocaecilius quillayute
Lacey (near Olympia), Thurston County, Washington, USA
June 28, 2008
My (7 year old) daughter spotted this one crawling on her toy and wanted to find out what it is. Needless to say, I'm a proud papa for her starting to exercise her spotting skills so well.

Why psocidae, Will?
I'm wondering if this isn't in the family Caesiliusidae. Maybe genus Xanthocaecilius??

sorry
i couldn't add anything of substance -- my attempts came up with nothing conclusive :-[ then the dog eat my web connection... :-[, so let's wait for gurus to raid the site [i'm definitely not one, i'm just fond of psocs]

They're neat little critters. Not sure what my own fav. group/family/order is yet... Ask me in another year maybe. Thanks for trying on the ID anyway.

they are cool, aren't they?
i see a bright future for anyone who starts with spotting barklice

bright futures
Well, I see two scenarios:
1) The Earth is in dire peril. We need to relocate to another planet which must be terraformed first. And it turns out that bark lice are the key to the entire food chain for higher organisms. My daughter saves the world
2) My daughter gets to wander through a world filled with critters of such beauty and variety that it's hard to comprehend, and most people around her wander through the miracle around them completely blind to what is around them.

Either way, she has a *very* bright future! :)
