This was my first encounter with springtails, when I slipped on them. The entire rock was coated with a thin, slippery film of the tiny, hopping bugs. The majority of them were flowing downhill in teeming, writhing rivulets in the creases of the rock.

Entomobrya multifasciata?

Springtails on clay pot

A few weeks ago I went on a springtail hunt, and these are some of the springtails I found. This guy was a new species for me. I'm pretty sure it is in the genus Onychiurus, the root-feeding springtails.

Same springtail as the previous shot. I wondered what this springtail was doing as it didn't seem to be feeding in several shots I took of it. I suspect it may have been having sex :). There appears to be a spermatophore stalk underneath it in this shot which is missing the sperm sac head.

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

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