Testing new 2x lens at lights in my yard.
Tiny psocid(??) giving a ride to an even tinier mite. The driver is about 1.25mm, the passenger is about 0.3mm (!)
ID suggestion from AI. Wasn't sure where to place this.
About 2 mm. View suggestion was pill bugs and wood lice, but this looks like none of them that I could find. A bunch of them on broken concrete slabs along a creek.
New species for MBP and the first mid-Atlantic record on BugGuide!
