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

Springtail size : +/- 0.7mm

Sminthurinus sp.

Could be : Sminthurinus aureus forma maculatus

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)

SDIM3568

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!

Le collembole et la goutte de rosée

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.

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

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

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!

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.

Maybe Sminthurus sp. 7 at collembola.org?

Does anyone have an ID for this globular springtail?

It was found in damp beech forests on the underside of wood (very moist with losts of fungi).

Dicyrtomina sp.

Under 1mm

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

empty egg with bug ... springtail maybe

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

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

Springtail Symphypleona

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

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).
