I've not been posting new pics all that frequently recently. That doesn't mean I haven't been out and about shooting stuff, it just it takes me so long to process and I've built up quite a backlog. This is only going to get worse as we get closer to Spring so I've no idea how I am going to keep on top of it all
Anyway, I have found a few different subjects, but I'm trying to get through all my Springtail finds first (and they are still my favourites) so apologies if you are getting fed up of these
I was pleased I managed to find a few more of this tiny species, Sminthurinus niger. There were about four of them on a fallen twig I turned over, and if I hadn't seen them before I likely wouldn't have spotted them. There was one individual that was willing to stay still long enough for a couple of stacks. Unfortunately I'd left my extension tubes in another bag at home (ARRGH!!) so couldn't get any closer:

This one was a bit more active, so just a single shot:

The previous weekend I went down to Sheffield again to look for some exotics. I still have more to get through, and it now seems like this particular species may not be an import, but rather a late-discovered British native. I guess this is yet to be determined though..

Another new one for my collection:

And just because they are so cute, a couple of babies
