Globular Springtail
I had my first proper garden springtail foray of the autumn yesterday. Photographed three different globular springtail species, including this one. This is a focus-stack (but of just two images), to improve DoF.
These are generally described as dark-forms of Sminthurinus aureus. In our garden, this form is very common and the "golden" form quite scarce. The dark forms are also noticeably-larger.
