Hello, Robert!

Why do you think this psocoptera is a nymph?
Ectopsocus petersi and
briggsi (*) are very numerous here in the garden and at the house, but I have never seen a brachypterous individual. The nymphs always were smaller than the adults - indicating that they were really nymphs.
(*) At least I think, they are these two species. They look quite different, matching clearly the pictures of the two here:

If I am right, then
E. petersi is more abundant here than
briggsi (95:5).
E. briggsi is very common, couldn't it be E. briggsi?
See above: (*)
