The Lunchtime Globby.


Most usually found by night, my globular springtails in the garden have had themselves an afternoon excursion around the lid of the garden waste bin. This one was the nearest one to me - the others were all just as mobile but nearer the centre of the bin and out of range.
All on the 100mm L IS, with 3 extension tubes.

In some of these (#3, #4, and #5) you can see the mouth part has extended downwards as the springtail eats or drinks from the surface.

These are really good Paul, with a nice neutral background, good composition, and lovely detail. "Great stuff".(y)

Wonderful Paul, I like them all but especially that low front on angle in the last!

Thanks Timmy - :)


I found out today that unlike the majority of arthropods, the Collembola have internal mouthparts (Endognathous).
