I think... But might be Hypogastrura manubrialis.
I think he's been a bit squished :@(
About 1-1.5mm long
From a Collembola hunt in RSPB Swell wood with Steve. Love these tiny hexapods.
The best part of 2mm long

In a corner in Opitter park in high grasses and Geranium robertianum I find this time of the year Heterosminthurus bilineatus and Deuterosminthurus bicinctus. For a second they where together in view...
left : Entomobrya nicoleti
right : Parisotoma notabilis
A very brief encounter, the Entomobrya nicoleti was very quickly gone again...
It is cropped a bit to show some of the detail. Otherwise, even at 2x magnification, it was too small to show.
My fav subject lately is a springtail.
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #New
Happy New Year!
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!

A gift from Frans Janssens. :-)
I could make a lot of photo's but it's not an easy one for determination...
Ocelli BDE are in straight line, not seen any legs with clavate tenent setae so until now it's Isotominae.
In the mean time Frans Janssens figured it out ! See comment...
Found in my garden yesterday between leaves. This one was just under 1mm, slightly smaller than the Dicyrtomina ornata that where also there.
A Sminthurides aquaticus walking across a piece of wet winecork.
A photo without flash merged with a photo with use of flash and f/4 for the springtail details.
I think S reticulatus...there are so many kinds of Sminthurinus.
I found this one today between leaves under a chestnut-tree. The tree is from the neighbours but the leaves are fallen in our place, so I must thank the neighbours ! :o)
A short visit to my small pond in the garden. The Geranium macrorrhizum around it puts the pond totaly in the shade now. The springtails are still there together with daphnia, cyclops, snails, rotifera, duckweed ...
Aquatic springtails by our garden pond. Looks like a dark-form Sminthurides aquaticus and a juvenile (possibly the same species). As usual; most of the S. aquaticus individuals around the pond are this dark form.
I came across this guy about 6 inches behind a couple globular Springtails i was trying to photograph. I could have waited to see if he caught up with them but i have seen springtail bodies lying around this type of spider before, so i decided to block his path with my finger until he turned around and went away.
He wasn't much bigger than the globby's at around 2 mm.
From our Staffordshire garden this morning. I decided to look under just one more leaf and found this!
I think it may be Katianna nr schotti, but I only remember ever photographing one individual before (also in our garden). It conveniently stayed on the leaf while I rushed in for my camera. Sadly, a gust of wind them blew it away!

Could be Hydroisotoma schaefferi, but the springtail would not show the ventral parts, just a little bit... :-)
Found : Hageven
