More interesting Ectopsocus - Ectopsocus strauchi
Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, USA
February 21, 2012
Size: ~1.5mm
Assuming Ectopsocus due to wing venation and the 7 spots on the outer edge of the FW. Different than anything I've ever seen before: each cell on the wing with a brown-shaded spot in the center, and about half the size of other adult Ectopsocus I'm used to seeing. After looking at the guide Ectopsocus strauchi seems to be match; Emile has posted one from Los Angeles as well. Found in leaf litter. Thanks in advance to =v= and Dr. Mockford as they're probably the ones who will be on this case.

(I will try to get better photos and see if I can't find a few nymphs also. In the mean time, here is a brief video of this one feeding (sorry for bad focusing))
