  1. #SpringtailSaturday: Currently on every leaf you can find little golden-yellow globular springtails (family Bourletiellidae) milling about and dancing. It's just as cute and magical as it sounds.

  2. 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!

  7. Sometimes with macrophotography things just line up perfectly, as with this photo of a globular springtail (a female Stenacidia violacea) on some moss.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

  8. I was just leaving High Park yesterday when I stopped on a whim to flip one last rock, and found this adorable little poduromorph springtail underneath! It took a tumble as it crawled around the rock, but it got back on its feet.

    Possibly _Neanura_? #iNaturalist observation: inaturalist.ca/observations/15 :inaturalist:

  9. I've been quite absent from here lately due to busy life stuff, but thanks for all the recent follows - here's a lovely little springtail (Neelus murinus) to say thanks!

    Hopefully things will calm down again soon and I'll have more time to regularly post more photos on here.
