Hi Lauren, Thanks for asking this question. I have always recorded the instances of those things (exactly like the photo you sent) as cave barklice (Dorpteryx) and called them “environmental indicators” since, here in the desert, we don’t expect to see many moisture-loving insects. I’d be interested if anyone has any more info.

Unfortunately I didn’t remember to take a photo, my apologies! I’ve have attached a photo of what I believe I’ve been seeing, with the small and almost hairy-looking wings. Next I see them I will definitely take a photo.

Lauren - There are several species of domestic booklice which can be winged or have abbreviated wings. Have you got a photo, or can you send me a couple of specimens?

Some of the sources I have found say that the winged booklice/barklice are not a threat to collections as they only live outside and chance their way into collections, and was wondering if anyone had any experience or thoughts on the matter. My thought is that since they are also psocids they may be a similar threat as well? We are going to start recording them separately from wingless booklice in any case to get a better idea if they are really increasing or if it is just perception. I generally find them on traps where wingless booklice are also found. Thank you very much!
