Entomobrya nivalis

I collected some springtails in the garden from my sister Annie in Kaulille. Thanks Annie :-) She has a lot of Entomobrya nivalis in her garden.

I gave the springtail a tulip to discover...

 

In this dorsal shot you can see that in nivalis the U-ornamentation never touches the posterior segment margin.

Forma dorsalis of nivalis: note thoracic dorsal pigmentation is absent/indistinct.

This I learned from Frans Janssens :-) Thanks Frans !
