Hi,

This little cutie I found dead near plants inside, it's only ~2mm. It seems the antennae don't fit Psocoptera, the eyes remind me of a springtail! Does anyone know what it is?

Found on 25th January, near Lincoln UK.

Amazing! Thanks Matt! I kept thinking I recognised the pattern on the head but couldn't place it! It was so small it looked like a bread crumb but I have a sharp eye for bread crumb look-alikes. Grin

I have seen a family of very small white earwigs which didn't look like this, they were probably bigger and newly moulted.
