A pretty 4-winged 'bug?'. Any thoughts. From Lincolnshire UK

Barklouse (= barkfly). Psocoptera or Psocodea depending on what classification you like.

Hi Phil, so you have discovered Barkflies! Not flies though. I have found several species but not yet this one! it looks like Loensia fasciata.

Firstly, thanks to John, I hadn't realised some of these were so big; also Janet, according to pictures elsewhere it certainly resembles fasciata.
