Springtail

My first attempt at macro photography. This is a tiny (2mm) Collembola, a hard working shredder in the recycling team in compost piles and soil.

Macro photography is a fascinating subject and gives me a wonderful view on the macrofauna of the soil.

For any macrophotographers out there - this is an unstacked image. I was planning to stack but this little guy would not keep still long enough!
