Orchesella celsa Excuse the low quality images. This springtail was tiny and not wanting to cooperate for photos. I couldn&#039;t see it well on the substrate, and it was moving!<br />

    1. Exactly!

      Silly question, does substrate mean it was photographed from or using a microscope?

      1. "substrate" is just the material it is found on. I have a busted microscope, so no fun for me. :( Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
