Springtails on the underside of the compost bin lid. Quite a few of these moving around at high speed.

ID'd as Entomobryomorpha.

It's just such a cheery springtail!

I watched this little Springtail (Tomocerus minor) crawl around for some time. They amaze me and I feel like I have found a new world! One of the benefits of winter when things have slowed down. I spend more time seeking out the smaller creatures.

@ Court Orchard, Stoke Abbott, West Dorset, UK.

c. 2mm long

Antennae divided into 5 sections (ant1a/b division difficult to see), ant4 annulated; empodium 80% as long as the claw.

Not sure what type of Collembola this is

Scales on the 2 basal antennal segments?

Springtail

This seems to be becoming the standard feature of my globular springtail hunts. I visit the local churchyard, carefully examine the underside of dozens of fallen leaves, and find just one individual.

Today's is another Sminthurinus reticulatus, to add to the Sminthurinus igniceps and Deuterosminthurinus pallipes that I've also found there in the past few days. I like this one's "camouflage" colouring and the bonus water droplet on the head! This is another very small individual; just over 0.5mm.

Canon 5D3 + MP-E 65mm (at x5) + 1.4x Extender + MT24-EX Flash. Cropped a bit.

Some small black flies attracted my attention by having a tussle on the track in front of us. I stopped to see what flies they were, but they disappeared. I noticed some tiny Springtails jumping and was very lucky that this little one stayed on a stick for a while.

I haven't been able to see any more of the last springtail I photographed.

Suburb of Perth WA

Not a great picture, but I am very excited, as when I got home and zoomed in on this picture I discovered I had taken my first ever picture of springtails! There are seven of them I think! (I don't know if anyone can make out a more specific Springtail ID?)

The fungi is Common Jellyspot (Dacrymyces stillatus), a widespread and common fungi found on wet timber like this wooden railing. It is a small orange gelatinous saprotrophic (decomposer) jelly fungus.

Collembola: Entomobryinae atrocincta

Nr Sydney, NSW, Australia

Found under a Laceleaf Maple Bush on a pot. I am out of practice and I am not able to tell if this is a new one for me. I am hoping Frans or others can help me ID it so I can know if I should take better photos.

Springtail.

I was shooting a damselfly and when it moved I saw these egg cases so I shot them. When I downloaded my shots, I saw I had caught what appears to be a springtail. It is hard to tell at this size though. In my zoomed in shots, he must have been on the back side of the grass.

Not sure about this one.

Some more springtails today - from under stones around a little shelter by Llandrindod Lake. Quite productive, and only spent ten minutes there. :o)

I forgot I had these photos! Always meant to add them here when I had some decent female photos, but they're a little tricky so I'll post up what I've got so far... They run around pretty quickly and jump far too easily, little buggers. Maybe when it's a bit cooler... It's worth bearing in mind that the larger adult female is 0.5mm while the male is only 0.35mm. The juveniles are much smaller!

This is a lovely one, found amongst the S. aquaticus, can't find it yet though... Red eye patch is kind of cool. Anyone got an idea?

I haven't had much success with the keys for this ~1mm specimen from leaf litter - this group is very new to me.

Isotomurus and Isotoma are always difficult for me, but hope this is right..?
