Sprintails will pose if you talk to them nicely :). Orchesella villosa (I think) balancing on a detritus fragment. about 3.5mm body length.

Cool little thing. Can't seem to figure out what it's trying to do.

Great capture! First time I've seen the underside of one of those. Saves you putting it on a glass slide like you did with the globulars back when. :)
These have a huge "spring", don't they.

got one like this recently but nowhere near as sharp; if you follow them around with the lens for a while you can at least capture them doing something more than just grazing.
