Same length as legs. Wings folded similar to a cicada. Hindwings half the length of forewings. Wings entirely membranous with venation. Head to tail twice the length of width. Three pronounced black cerci about as long as femorae. No mouthparts visible at 9x magnification. Body: < 1 mm. Forwing: 2 mm. Total length including antennae: 3 mm. Photo not available, specimen still here. I'm having troubles getting a good shot of it so I sketched the forewing. |
