Booklice - Trogium pulsatorium
Baiting Hollow, Suffolk County, New York, USA
August 22, 2009
Size: 1.5 mm est.
Here is a pair from the same group as the previous post.
The one on the left has been eating (I think eating) a pile of what looks like insect parts for the last 10 minutes.
He has just chased off the intruder on the right.

These are a bit bigger, less transparent, darker and hairier then the previous post here:
