This is a member of Psocodea, which includes bark lice and book lice! I don't know anything about this order, so that's as narrow as the ID is getting.

Today in extremely small arthropods, what I think might be Lepinotus reticulatus, a reticulate-winged booklouse. Maybe 1 mm in length, but fast and hard to photograph. And kind of cute. Found inside one of my insect hotels. #insect #nature #entomology #Psocodea
