Backus Woods, Norfolk, Ontario, Canada
October 4, 2010
Size: 1.5 mm
Trapped in a pool of water in a mushroom cap. They seem to have a short furcula (see the individual on its side to the right of the drowned psocopteran).

Noted.
Noted for next time. Thanks for the ID. Moved from Poduromorpha.

Note on furca/furcula: a furcula is a small furca.
Poduromorpha typically have a furcula, while Entomobryomorpha and Symphypleona typically have a furca.
