Acanthanura sp.

A beautifully coloured giant springtail from the Milkshake hills in the NW of Tasmania. It was such a pleasure watching these walk around, though usually in the process of trying to escape from my camera. The colours really are this bright. They live in the depths of rotten logs in Tasmania's rainforests, eating slime moulds and generally being cool.
