Family Lachesillidae
This very small psocoptera with clear wings and a distinct Cubital Loop (u shaped vein in the central upper margin of the forewing) is a member of the family Lachesillidae. In Canada this family is comprised primarily of a single genus (Lachesilla) but due to my lack of knowledge about the Psocoptera fauna of Florida I will leave it at the Family level for someone else. The Family Ectopsocidae looks very similar but lack the Cubital Loop.

his comment: "An excellent photo, and certain venational and head-marking characters are probably species-diagnostic, but I can't place it."
