Tiny Bug - Polypsocus corruptus

Tiny Bug - Polypsocus corruptus
Mason Neck State Park, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
July 5, 2009
This was a quarter inch or less in size. Found it on a leaf next to the water in Mason Neck State Park, and had a bad time getting a clear shot. Here are three of the clearest. I don't even know where to begin looking for it.

Ah, thank you!
It had a Psocid's face, but a mirid or beetle body.

 
let me show you something...
today's mirid w/psocid face... and body -- and its 'model'/counterpart

 
I saw that earlier today
and was wondering what it was - thanks for telling me!
