Springtails, springstaarten (Sminthurides bifidus)
My pets, descendants of the specimens collected by Roel van Bezouw and me in the Victoria (tropical) glasshouse of the Leiden hortus botanicus.
The completely yellow (orange) ones, with red eyes, are albinos.
The brown dorsal median band of the regular specimens is pigmentation, not intestinal contents.
