Wingless and spider-like insect, about 3mm long. Could it be a nymph of an hemipteran? Found in Lisbon, June 2008.

Thanks,

Joaquim Gaspar
Lisboa

PS - Could it be a "Spider beetle'' (Ptinus fur)?

Nymph yes, but from a barklice, so Psocoptera!

Looks like Mesopsocus immunis, female - but could be a related species?
