Tiny brown bug - Psylliodes affinis

Tiny brown bug - Psylliodes affinis
Delta, British Columbia, Canada
May 17, 2012
Size: 2.5 mm.
I found several of these on different flowering plants in my garden, and on Scotch broom from across the street. This one has the upper section of its rear leg very enlarged. (Not all do; I'll post a different one separately.)

Similar bug
The other bug, that looked the same to the naked eye, but didn't have the fat upper legs, is here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/645037.
