not closely related to Psocidae
in fact, it's in a diff. suborder

Moved from Common Barklice.

That's what I get

that's what you get for paying attention to common names, MJ!
switch them off for good... they are trouble.
but, more importantly, there is this rather useful photo guide on the order page(1) where you could instantly find your bug, on the very top
