Springtail on ice

In the recent snowy weather I thought I'd see how the Globular Springtails were faring and turned over a few rocks in my garden. To my surprise there were still lots of springtails attached to the underside of the rocks, many partially set into the ice. As the light reached them they slowly started to move and these two shots are of a couple of individuals wandering around the ice.
