Paragus bicolor group. There are several very similar species (bicolor, romanicus, and still unnamed spp.) in the Mediterranean that are not covered well in the literature and are identifiable by the male genitalia only. Regards Dieter |

The smaller creature is indeed a Thysanoptera, but I do not think anyone would hazard to put a genus name on it.
