Another one that I cannot identify, its about 1mm long (maybe even smaller). I did the best I could with the macro shot.

Thanks

Dan

This appears to be a very young larva of a lacewing (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae or Hemerobiidae) - see http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/pests/e1225-k.jpg
They are voracious predators on small arthropods such as aphids, and even one this small can give a nip noticeable to a human.
