Wow!
Your images are great, especially considering the size of this insect.

Thank you!
Thanks! It's all thanks to the University of Florida photo lab! Has this species been properly identified/described? If not I'd be interested in doing so (with notes on ecology). I've seen four so far and they seem to have a consistent habitat.

You really should consult ...
Charles Lienhard and Courtnay N. Smithers, Psosoptera World Catalogue & Bibliography, Instrumenta Biodiversitatis V, Museum d' historie naturelle, Geneva, 2002, ISBN 2-88139-009-9

If the U. Fla insect museum does not have it, they should. It is updated yearly in "Psocid News".

According to Ed Mockford ...
this is an undescribed species which he thinks is introduced. There are so few entomologists working on 'Psocoptera'. I hope you do continue to work with psocids!
