Springtail? - Liposcelis
Copyright © 2011 Jon Hart

Springtail? - Liposcelis
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
October 14, 2011
Size: less than 2 mm
Found on back porch late-night. This, unfortunately, is the best I could do for a shot. I found this in association with Seira sp. springtails which it seemed to follow around. My confusion with this arises from the antennae. Every springtail I have seen to date have segmented antennae. This animal has antennae like a true bug (hemipteran). Do I need to get out more often or is this *not* a springtail?

Doesn't look like a springtail
My best, slightly-educated guess is something in the non-parasitic part of the Order Psocodea
