Some more springtails today - from under stones around a little shelter by Llandrindod Lake. Quite productive, and only spent ten minutes there. :o)
Springtail duo feeding on the vertical arm of a sunchair. This shot has been hand focus stacked from 3 shots to get both in reasonable focus but think I prefer the single shot here www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/5326051611/

Symphypleona, possibly Bourletiella hortensis
(Thanks, Frans!)
Another new one tonight. Not a great shot, but he's definitely different than any others I have found, so I'm documenting him here. His "fat rolls" make me think of Jabba. And he has a bluish butt, as you can see below.

So much variability… I’m attempting once more to culture them. Hopefully this can eventually lead to some cool discoveries! I only find Isotomurus bimus with this appearance along the shores of the Vermillion River and the streams that flow into it. Not even in the vernal pools a couple hundred feet from the river…
Op een begraafplaats stond een natuurstenen kommetje waar wat regenwater in was blijven staan. Tot mijn verbazing zag ik daar deze kleine beestjes op het water heen en weer glijden. Van kop tot staart zo'n 1,5 -2 mm. Het zijn springstaarten en waarschijnlijk de soort Dicyrtomina ornata.
On a cementary I found a small stone bowl, filled with rainwater. To my surprise I discovered these tiny critters, gliding on the waters´ surface. Head to tail approximately 1,5 - 2 mm.
They are Springtails, probably the species Dicyrtomina ornata.
Springtail on a grape. A very dark Dicyrtomina. Funnily enough it's colour perfectly matched the grape skin
This springtail is about a millimeter or two across. It's of the genus Ceratophysella. Thanks to Frans Janssens for the identification.
Out in the churchyard this morning and I took to chasing springtails around on the lychgate-post. Fun! Again, not a great pic. Just like his face...
The smallest springtail I have seen found it looking down a 1280x microscope in a drop of water from a leaf.
