A rather green looking Springtail - Entomobrya marginata grazing on algae

very heavy rain today, did manage to time my walk while the sun was shining. Not long after getting home, it poured with rain.

Not a great deal about, saw some more fungi and spotted a couple of Globular Springtails, Dicyrtomina saundersi, cute little bugs about 2.5mm in size

Springtails in compost bin X2.

Around 0.8mm - 0.9mm long, these springtails have appeared from nowhere on the lumps of suet that I feed to the the rest of my menagerie. I assume that they are Sminthurinus domesticus, a species which survives only in indoor locations in this part of the world.

This one was hitching a ride on a Centipede.

Some other globular springtails from my trip to Weston Park this morning. Top right looks like Sphaeridia pumilis. All others are Sminthurinus species. Top left looks a bit like the one I posted previously but with less dark pigmentation patches. Bottom left looks like it may be Sminthurinus reticulatus and bottom right Sminthurinus aureus forma ochropus.
