Thought I recognised this from one of Eddie's photos so I went back through my photos. I haven't got any decent photos but this is probably ok for an ID... This brings the total of different globular springtails on my pond up to a possible seven! S. aquaticus, S. malmgreni, Bourletiella arvalis, Dicyrtomina ornata, Dicyrtomina minuta, poss. S. aureus and the unidentified white-banded one. Cool! And when I say 'my pond', I mean actually just 4 inches of my pond...!

Summary[edit] Description: English: The reticulata form of Sminthurinus aureus. Original description on Flickr: This chap is from my sister's garden the other day, a three photo stack. S. aureus f. reticulata is spreading across the country surprisingly quickly, from its first spotting a few years ago. This I think is the furthest north so far, in Yorkshire. I also found them to be pretty common in Manchester as I went up country. Date: 1 December 2013, 22:16:31. Source: Sminthurinus aureus f. reticulata (11203528414). Author: Andy Murray.
