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).

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