An unusual POV

I found several of these Pseudosinella springtails in the Wichita Mountains. I'm not sure what speccies they were, but they look similar to P. rolfsi. I don't know if the white spots were caused by the flash or were actually on the springtail, but several of them had them.

Pleasantly surprised when found this when looking for the minute beetles. Of similar size but not shiney.

Thanks to Frans Janssens for the ID.

It's a classic, but a rather lovely springtail...

Most springtails are small and difficult to see by casual observation...but we can all see that Graham is looking in the wrong direction.."They're behind you"!

I nearly caught this one having a nibble of these young, fresh leaves I think so perhaps there is a chance I will see them eating live plants in my garden....will keep my eyes peeled :-)

I found this springtail under some leaves. I'd seen similar ones before but not with such bright colouration and i hadn't noticed the curled antennae before

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.

Another springtail that I rescued from the pond. Took this shot while it was drying off on the leaf I fished him out with.
