Excellent series Alistair. Are #1 &2 one of the tiny white ones you get in leaf litter ?
Love the water drops on the globular.
Suggest you post these in the collembola group on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/334033@N24/
Should then get Frans help on ID.

Thanks for the kind comments Brian. Thanks for the link, will post them there later on. Yep found the first two while riffling through the leaf litter. I was surprised to get some sharp shots as they move constantly :mad::D. They would stop for like a second then dissapear again, they can really shift when they want too.:D
