Barklouse... - Trichopsocus clarus

Barklouse... - Trichopsocus clarus
Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
August 29, 2021
Size: < 2mm
Can you see the very faint lighter shade of the extreme lower left corner? That is there because I cropped it a little above the computer screen. The black "wall" the Psocid is on is the bevel between my laptop's screen and the edge of the frame around the screen!

It's interesting how things look...
...with just the slightest change of angle, lighting, or background.

I have a couple shots where I would swear there were to white lines behind the ocelli like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~o~~o~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~\~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But since they are completely absent from other views I think maybe they are more likely to be light due to contours. They did not turn out great. Now I think maybe I should add one. I'll just add one.

Dang! I forgot this program takes out spaces, ruining my pictogram. I'll try some filler. You get the idea. Maybe...
