    That feeling when you google for "springtails Indonesia" and this is the first hit. Anyway, would family Paronellinae be too wild of a guess? Posted 4 years ago

      Yes, that certainly looks like a fair thesis - thanks. I'm planning to mail Frans about some Springtails and I'll be sure to toss this one into the mix .... Posted 4 years ago

        Make use of this ancient internet wisdom: the fastest way to a correct answer is to post the wrong answer.

        So you contact Frans and say you've discovered these 7 new species. After which he will be triggered and super motivated to point out their real IDs.

        Job done.         Posted 4 years ago

              Nah, I'm confident that he'll be too obsessed by the excellent photo to read the comments ;o) Posted 4 years ago

    I'm pretty much in awe of how many springtails (and other odd critters) you have photographed. Posted 4 years ago

      Don't say that. Say to Arp that we have only 30. It works like a red cloth on a bull.

        Although, bulls are color blind, aren't they? I don't think they can see red. They respond to the aggressive/annoying movement of the cape, in addition to the fact that they had already been pissed off before being let loose in the ring. Posted 4 years ago

          But, ahem..."Arp, we only have 30! We need more photos. Pretend you are a bull who for some reason doesn't like the color red and add more photos." Posted 4 years ago

            Well ... a few days back Ferdy pulled the red cloth trick on me by mentioning we already had 20 species ;o) By the time all recently uploaded images are properly ID's it 'll have almost (not quite) doubled ... I'm afraid I can't get much more "pissed off" than that for now :-|
            Probably ladybird larvae are up next - just got a request from Bernhard Klausnitzer to provide them with some images for a new issue of their book, so I'll be looking through that _huge_ backlog soon ;o)             Posted 4 years ago
