Entomobrya multifasciata sizes A horrible photo, but wanted to show the massive difference in size between these two individuals. The one in the background looks to be roughly 3 times larger compared to the one in the foreground. Still the adult is likely only a little over 1mm.

  1. Wow! Do you ever find shed skins? Posted 4 years ago
    1. "Ever" sounds like I've been doing this years. This is my first tray, Christine :)
      But no, don't think I've seen a shed skin, I believe I once read it may be used as food.

      1. Haha! Dead skin as a snack is pretty common with insects. It has useful nutrition :). Posted 4 years ago
