Tiny Laemophloeid? - Cryptolestes ferrugineus
Las Cruces, Doña Ana County, New Mexico, USA
December 24, 2005
Size: 1.8 mm
Found under (probably) pecan firewood bark. Died before I was able to photograph it. Resembles this one I shot in New Hampshire:

I hope to get a better dorsal view, plus a useable underside shot.
