late season macros, missed a pretty Picture Wing displaying so had to settle for this boring old Entomobrya intermedia foraging on a plastic pot. 2mm.
They don't have much in the way of feet do they?

Fine series of images Toby, especially the last one, cracking shot. Is this a springtail btw?

its a Springtail, probably the most widespread of all insects but easy to miss at 0.5-4mm. Look closely in some damp area and you should find some. There are numerous species and some are globular like this one:

Thanks for this very interesting information Toby, I will go and do some scratching around. They are very small so I hope I find some.

Hiya Toby,

Great shots, who needs feet eh when one has a huge great Catapult tucked away under the Belly :lol:

You shoulda been with me on the southern slopes of Sheeps Tor this morn it was glorious there were Butterflies, Beetles, Sheep Ticks, Dung Flies & me with no Camera eh, Sods Law.

Did a test on my Ankle & failed rather miserably I'm afraid to say, when I eventually got home I had to sit with the bugger in a bucket of ice cold water to get the swelling down :evil: back to the drawing board or should I say the Butchers Block :lol:

Cheers for now
Mark

Sheeps Tor - looks lovely. If you'd had your camera it would have been raining so look on the bright side. You need a little P&S with macro facility for emergency use!

bit of drama by Springtail standards - walking a high wire:
