Chun, I do not feel there is enough here to make a call but I have included the term book lice in the tags until I can find some more references. Thank you for the assist

Hi Stephen, the link leads to my photograph that I have uploaded into the internet. The picture is not shared publicly so there are no comments about it.
StephenSolomons
Is there any more comment about that image on the site it comes from Chun? That is the problem with smaller sightings they look so different through different lenses and lights
StephenSolomons
Wrong or not ChunXingWong it is great to have assistance on the search. I will head over and check out the link
ChunXingWong
I may be wrong but this is my best suggestion. I spotted a tiny one similar to your spotting too here http://images.plurk.com/pwx9-1FZWqYu9KAbtq2RFBNvWDW.jpg

Really? I would not have known to look into booklice. Thanks ChunXingWong
