Another bug tourist question: Are they fast?
Since Tom, Brad, and Diane have seen these in the wild probably I was wondering if these elliptical barklice are faster runners than the average barklice? Anything I have seen this shape has run really quickly, leaving me wondering what I saw!
(Really nice photograph, Tom!)

Beautiful shot Tom
you set the standards in psocid photography. Wish I knew how you managed to get the entire creature in focus. I covet.

Pbase site
and you can see the settings I use.
