Some get marked for life ... - Ectopsocus vachoni
Madrona Marsh Preserve, Torrance, Los Angeles County, California, USA
December 18, 2009
Size: ~ 1 mm
I found a number of these fat brown apterous Barklice with a dark "C-" mark on their abdomen.

Even the light-colored immatures carry the "C-" sign !

I'd love to find out who these cuties are.
