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

Found : Opitter park

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...

A very brief encounter, the Entomobrya nicoleti was very quickly gone again...

Springtail (I think)

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!

It is cropped a bit to show some of the detail. Otherwise, even at 2x magnification, it was too small to show.

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.

Le collembole et la goutte de rosée

The tiny orange spots are springtails that I was unaware of until editing the photo.

Yet more Katianna schoetti from our Staffordshire garden. I found around ten today and this was the largest (~1mm). I've posted it because the of the very dark terminal section of the antennae. I assume that these become darker in mature instars. Virtually black here.

Tiny blue/gray springtails different than the round ones. Still less than a millimeter in length.

Maybe Sminthurus sp. 7 at collembola.org?

Springtail

Rockburn

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!

Dicyrtomina sp.

Sminthuridae ?

54 image focus stack taken with OM1 and Olympus MC-20 teleconverter, Kenko 16mm extension tube and Olympus 60mm macro lens.

Cecil County, MD.

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.

Under 1mm

Shot with the Laowa 60mm f/2.8 ultra-macro lens at f/11, 2x magnification.

A springtail from a garden macro safari I think this is a Sminthurinus-lawrencei

Ptenothrix renateae

Springtail Symphypleona

A 2mm long Protaphorura aurantiaca plus a 0.8mm juvenile - Tomocerus minor. Thanks to Frans for ID & notes.

Found on the underside of fallen beech leaves, Lodge Hill, Shropshire.

Not the best photo but the only one I found today... I'm a little out of practice

I didn't realize I had already posted this just a day or two before!

Taken in Battle Ground, Clark Co, WA, USA

Thanks to Frans Janssens for ID.

A little snail that I found under a log. I'm not sure what is directly underneath it but you can see a tiny springtail hiding under the edge of it's shell on the left side of the photo. Photographed in Maryland (4/18/21).
