Summary[edit] Description: English: Neanura muscorum springtail. Original description on Flickr: This was a 15 photo stack, took three hours of complex, hard stacking which I stupidly started at 11.30 at night. Unfortunate. I couldn't stop once I'd started so had to just plough on. And the funny thing was that I had almost deleted all the photos a week ago as I thought the stack wasn't worth doing. Now I've done it, I'm pretty chuffed with it. It's worth seeing in the large original, as the skin looks like mole fur! This was on a very cold morning so the springy didn't move until I'd taken a load of photos. Lovely little thing. Date: 4 December 2013, 02:10:14. Source: Neanura muscorum (11199184744).

Summary[edit] Description: English: Original description on Flickr: S. nr. quinseta is a member of the Brachystomellidae. This is a littoral species I found only under flakes of rock in the intertidal zone of the estuary beach in Montagu, in the NE of Tasmania. I'm actually in the South Island of New Zealand now, but have my usual backlog of photos. This set of photos aren't particularly great but useful for reference at least.

Summary[edit] Description: English: Odontellidae sp. possibly Odontella incerta Original description on Flickr: With autumn now well and truly here, show you care by crochetting your favourite Tasmanian springtail a onesie to keep him or her warm on those frosty mornings. Here's one I made earlier... Date: 10 April 2014, 02:16:20. Source: Odontellidae sp. (13834904665). Author: Andy Murray.
Summary[edit] Description: English: Original description on Flickr: I was a few kilometres outside of Rotarua in the North Island of New Zealand in Whakarewarewa Forest otherwise known as the Redwoods. This is a peculiar place, almost bereft of native invertebrate life and it took me six hours to find a couple of springtails that weren't the cosmopolitan N. muscorum or Onychiurinae. These seem to be the default springtails wherever there's been input from European settlers. The massive area of woodland was planted over and through another ecosystem, of flax, fern and shrub, mainly Manuka. For me, it wasn't too pleasant but, anyway. There was this chap, rather splendid, around 8mm big and cute as a button ambling around so I took some photos.. It's worth checking out the first comment for more photos, especially a crop of the water droplet. This has had the effect of further magnifying the epicuticular ultrastructure to such an extent that you can begin to see the hexagonal structure of the granules, or something.. Very cool.

Summary[edit] Description: English: Original description on Flickr: (..) This is another from under a wet log, looking very much like the UK's Monobella grassei except white. It's finally started raining here in Tairua so there should be a whole new batch of springies in the next week... Date: 9 February 2014, 05:33:40. Source: Neanurinae (12714213323).

Summary[edit] Description: English: Acanthanura dendyi Original description on Flickr: Well, here's another giant springtail, this one weighing in at a hefty 11mm, still not the longest, those are often to be found in the Southern forests, where I'm going tomorrow! This one was enormous though. The moss was shaking and birds were flying up, squawking when it was walking about. I'm still finding them tricky to photograph though as they're wide, spiky and fast, but what a lovely challenge. Uchidanurinae are very communal so it's quite easy to find them in tens at a time in the right sorts of places. These will live in paddocks as well as rain forests so they're quite adaptable. Check out more photos in the first comment that Flickr now hide, which is annoying.. Date: 29 March 2014, 04:51:18. Source: Acanthanura dendyi (13589308374). Author: Andy Murray.
