Hi, I've not seen this one before,please could anyone tell me what it might be? It was found briefly sat on a log in the sun today,on the sussex downs UK,with meadow,stream and mixed wood nearby. I cant remember the zoom setting i used,so cant give an exact size,but small,maybe 2mm.I didnt have my flash so had to do my best without it today. I had a look in the diptera gallery and in a few other online pic collections,but couldnt find one like it. many thanks  |

I wouldn't call this a bark louse (as far as I know bark lice are Psocoptera). I think this specimen belongs to the family Triozidae (Homoptera: Psylloidea). Jan Willem |

Agree with Jan- it's a Psyllid (jumping plant louse) Brian V. |
