Barkflies & Booklice
Introduction
Barkflies and booklice are insects in the order Psocoptera. One hundred species have been recorded in Britain which, compared to other insect groups, is not a dauntingly large number to learn to identify. There are two distinct groups: species that occur outdoors (barkflies) and those that are only recorded indoors (booklice).
