I never knew that a #springtail could have antennae like these! I just saw this little one over on tumbr and I'm amazed. This one is from the genus Temeritas, spotted in Japan.
It looks like a berry with two cat whiskers stuck in it. Amazing creature! #SpringtailSunday
@frankashwood looook!

In New Zealand, the invertebrate life is mostly nocturnal, so for macrophotography it's best to go out with your camera at night.
I'm from the UK, so a bit wary of going into the forest after dark, but I'm slowly getting used to it here (while still taking safety precautions of course). It's absolutely worth it - you see so many more creatures and can get amazing behaviour shots like this springtail feeding on fungi!

The perils of academia - it's busy season with research and teaching, so I've not got much headspace for keeping up with social media right now.
While I wade through the mire, please enjoy this beautiful springtail (family Paronellidae), with its impressive hockey-stick hairs and amazingly long antennae and springing organ!

Do you love #SpringtailSaturday, but feel it's always over too soon?
Dry your eyes, my friend.
They said it couldn't be done.
They said that dedicating more than one day a week to springtails was impossible, merely the arrogant pipe-dream of a madman.
But, guess what?
It's #SpringtailSunday.

It's #SpringtailSunday!
Today I saw this pile of adorability - a group of bright pinkie-purple springtails.
Species of Poduromorpha such as these are known to occasionally 'swarm', sometimes on the surface of water and even on snow! They're totally harmless and are important decomposers in soil systems.

Ok Rock-Flippers, what are your thoughts on alliterative soil animal-themed days of the weeks for future posts? I won't stick to them religiously, as there are so many diverse groups that it would exclude, but it will help to structure my schedule a bit more. Any suggestions are appreciated! @nev will have the answers I'm sure...
Examples:
#MiteMonday
?Tuesday
#WoodlouseWednesday
?Thursday
?Friday (#FungiFriday is a thing, but I don't take many fungi photos)
?Saturday

It's #SpringtailSunday!
You know what that means - you must drop to your knees and worship every springtail you see today. Don't look at me like that, I don't make the rules.

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

It is with great joy that I present a bucket-list species for me, one of the 'giant' springtails (Holacanthella spinosa).
I've spend the weekend in NZ native red beech forests, photographing some unbelievable creatures... stay tuned for green tree geckos, tree wētā, and VELVET WORMS!

It's #SpringtailSunday, which means you get to enjoy the adorableness (yes that's definitely a word) of this Calvatomina superba. Such a beautiful creature!

I'm hoping it's better late than never for #InverteFest, with this photo of a beautiful globular springtail (Dicyrtomina saundersi)!

#SpringtailSunday anyone? A few little green fellas I found the other day. Entobryomorpha, I think?

I hope you all have a restful festive break and get an opportunity to recharge your batteries!
I managed to squeeze in some Christmas macro yesterday and found this lovely wee springtail (Megalothorax minimus).
