Reminds us of

springtails, in the guide here but we could be totally off. Great image! Someone will know.

Thanks!

And indeed, the springtails do bear quite a resemblence. But I don't think it's a springtail, because they have internal mouthparts and my specimin's mandibles are quite visible... and it didn't jump once during captivity.

psocid ? (maybe nymph)

See images in bugguide.
Here are a couple of other web sites with barklice/booklice info:

Yes!

Wow, that's a dead ringer for it! Thanks a bunch.

It's funny, the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was "louse". But when I looked up images of lice on bugguide, the wings threw me off... when I looked, no nymphs showed up.

Still, I'd quite like to narrow it down a bit more. The number of antenna segments indicates it is a member of Troctomorpha, no?

My first thought

I agree...i dont know much about these little things but i think thats what we are looking at as well.
