Hello Lars,

it is Psocoptera.

Unfortunately I have no exact size but by comparing it to the bark it was rather 10-15 mm.

The biggest european Psocoptera, Psococerastis gibbosa reaches a wing span up to 16 mm and a body length of 7-7.5 mm.
This is not Psococerastis, but another rather big species, maybe Metylophorus nebulosus (body length 6-7 mm). Compare here: http://www.brc.ac...llery.aspx
