Hypoxylon and another hitchhiker Once again I come home, process photos and find a springtail has photo bombed me :p <br /> the little yellow guy on the right there is a Dicyrtomina ornate.

      I think they look amazingly like the "bugs" from a childhood game that I liked called Cooties -https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2840/10027695466_4c58e43e9a_z.jpg
      They are so tiny... often I never even see them until I come home and look at my photos on a big screen. Unless of course if there are a lot of them, which sometimes there are - some kinds swarm and form little seething purple puddles of tiny, tiny bugs.       Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

        Hehe, they sure are funny-looking. The one in the photo seems so fat I'm surprised it can even walk, with an abdomen like that, which in itself seems to have an interesting pattern of light emitting through it. Posted 9 years ago
