Linopodes found on railings and tree stump in Devon; they use the front legs like antennae feeling the way ahead.

same size as the globular springtails but slightly harder to spot being of slender build; different species here:

Interesting and well shot Toby. Are these like typical mites, fast and restless?

yes they wouldn't keep still although not as proportionately fast as the tiny spider mites.

Around 2mm, not as big as some of the springtails beside them.
