I seem to have discovered a new friend in the house this morning. I think??? this is a common barklouse but it's a new species to me so I'm not sure if there are similar lookalikes here in Ohio. (I've put him on iNat to hopefully confirm.)
Either way my little friend is very striking once I pulled out the good camera to get up close shots!
(Sorry if this is a bother I'm just so glad there are people with blogs here who appreciate the discovery of bugs I've never seen before 😭 Our biodiversity in my localized area has been dropping so much and it's been exciting to see how much change has happened since we finally had new neighbors move in who agreed to stop mowing a patch of the shared yard and let things just grow back natural!)
Bark Louse in Ohio:
I mean, it looks like the common Bark Louse, Metylophorus novaescotiae, family Psocidae, to me.
Sometimes called "Tree Cattle".
Really cool photos, thank for sharing.
Species Metylophorus novaescotiae - BugGuide.Net
#1847 - Clematostigma maculiceps
One of Australia’s wide range of really beautiful barklice. I’m amazed that I stumbled over an ID for this one - it’s a complicated Order, formerly Psocoptera, but now Psocodea since the True Lice turned out to be a specialised group within the Barklice, most closely related to the Booklice.
The parasitic lice (formerly of the Order Phthiraptera) includes some 5,000 species of wingless ectoparasite, and the booklice (Liposcelidae) include some cosmopolitan household pests, but the barklice are harmless scavengers of fungi, algae, lichen, and organic detritus. Some species can spin silk from glands in their mouth.
