  1. You are on a roll! :D This one is a pudgy one! Posted 4 years ago
    1. Thanks Lisa, decided to do a *cough*quick*cough* browse through my overdue Collembola images to see if I had anything identifiable in there ... pffff ....
      This one sure was pudgy - less than 1mm *rolleyes* ... the camera I carried with me in the field that day clearly wasn't up to it ;o)

  2. Below 1mm is ridiculously tiny, respect for finding it and capturing at all, plus a nice family intro! Posted 4 years ago
