Thanks everyone for your input. I was thrown off by the wings as the booklice in our Library have none. According to the MuseumPests Fact Sheet, the outdoor related species of barklice often have wings. I had no idea. I’ll keep checking my traps and see if they are still active.

I believe it is a fly; however, due to the fragility of the collection, I would love a second opinion. The insect measures 1.103 mm. I am surprised to find these in our vault and not in any other traps set in the building. Thank you, Rachel Rachel Kaleilehua Malloy Anthropology Collections Manager Nevada State Museum 600 N.
