They really look creepy Toby. When I see them I somehow always imagine them crawling into my ear for some reason. Yuck!! Lovely shots though!!

Yet more excellent springtail shots Toby - I should try looking for them in my parents garden, although it's been dry and there probably won't be many. Amazing detail in #1, makes it almost seem closer enough that you want to grab it through the monitor.

Lovely detail on these Toby.

Think I'll have to do a bit of hunting round my old flowerpots. Will my reactions be quick enough though...? :)

that wont be a problem as they tend to stop and graze for minutes at a time and are not spooked by cameras- they are quite quick when they are on the move and can jump of course. Main problem seems to be spotting them as many on this forum claim they never see them; but they are everywhere - the most successful species on the planet possibly; remember they are mostly from around 1mm to 3mm in length and usually light brown.
