Yup there are some around 5mm body length, but these you are lucky if they make 3mm.
Good shots BTW.

Haha nice one Brian. I was never a punk but it was part of my mid to later teens. That gives away my age :-)

Good captures Alby! I think my only springtail was one I accidentally captured in an Ant shot. :D

Congrats Alby! Awesome shots.

What's the best place to find these little creatures?

Thanks Guys, your words are appreciated. :-)

RM. It's Entomobrya intermedia so I've been told.

Artur, this is the first one I seen so can't say, I found this one on a dead leaf on one of my black bamboo plants.
