I've been in New Zealand for three months now, and seen three of the five species of endemic Holacanthella 'Giant' springtails - not bad!

Let's hope the next two months bring the remaining two species to my camera 🤞

(In order: H. duospinosa, H. paucispinosa, H. spinosa)

I’m delighted to be the iNaturalist observation of the day and see giant springtails getting the attention they deserve!

I had the honour of meeting another species of giant springtail (Holacanthella paucispinosa) today.

Absolute evolutionary perfection.

You know how sometimes you can't go to sleep at night, because your mind is too busy trying to imagine what the underside of a giant springtail looks like?

Well now you can rest easy - it's as adorable and alien as you'd expect. Just look at that little mouth!

@BelfastRoadster Collembola (springtails)! Non-insect six-footed arthropods, tiny creatures of soil and damp, some jump, generally adorable.

@frankashwood goodness, I don’t know if I just did other social media wrong or what, but never have I been so lucky as to experience #hotSpringTailSummer

Coincidentally last night I got some photos of springtails sharing a snack of something outside my building.
