Ectopsocus axillaris female subgenital plate
Great Excitement!
Well, not so much because of tiny invertebrate blindness - it's not a pretty butterfly but it is the first record for #VC55.
Barkfly, Ectopsocus axillaris.

Cuneopalpus cyanops (Pscopotera). 7 April 2025 Topsham, Devon.
Another of those small interesting things that turn up on our house wall: Cuneopalpus cyanops, a barkfly often found on conifers. Seems fairly scarce - I can find no Devon records - but as usual with these things probably under recorded.

Think a #Booklouse ( #Psocoptera ) seen while tidying back porch in #Plymouth 7/2/2025. No idea of species, sadly.
This is a little Psocoptera (Barklice/Plantlice) that I snapped a few weeks back - not quite cicada, not quite treehopper and very tiny #insects #psocoptera #MacroAddicts #australianinsects

Blaste quadrimaculata (Psocidae) found on house wall. 23 August 2024 Topsham, Devon. No other Devon records found but sure to be under recorded.
2024 Highlights #4. Blaste quadrimaculata (Psocidae). A fine little barkfly and another lucky find on our house wall. It appears to be the first Devon record but it's likely these things are under recorded if not under appreciated.

I have an inordinate fondness for barklice (Psocoptera), I have to admit. What about you?

A barkfly, almost certainly Loenisia variegata. Whetstone, Leics. 14/09/2024.
Last night was pretty woeful for moths to the garden light trap, so this barkfly was by far the most interesting species in the catch. It is almost certainly Loenisia variegata, but will need a bit more scrutiny to confirm. #ukwildlife #Psocoptera schemes.brc.ac.uk/barkfly/key/...
A barkfly, Stenopsocus stigmaticus, which is widely distributed in the UK, but infrequently recorded. The dark line in the wing combined with the green body help to distinguish this from other similar species.
Another new species for me from yesterday, the surprisingly jazzy #barkfly Stenopsocus stigmaticus, with its neon yellow wing veins, beaten from Hawthorn. #Insect #UKWildlife #Psocoptera
