Lovely set and colours in all. That first one of the globular springtail is excellent.

Thank you! I'm finding a lot of those globbies at the moment..

Well done. Nice with the reflection. And I'm envious - I can't find any springtails at the moment, globbies or others.

What kit are you using for these tiny subjects?

 

[sandboxmagician]

Thanks! I'm using my D3200 with a 90mm Tamron macro lens and a Yongnuo flash with a diffuser.

Took me ages to find them, absolutely ages so I know how you feel! I hope you find some.

Blimey these are good and that last (1st thread) one to me is the top one and well done for getting out there and finding them.
Even better as the 90mm is only 1:1, I cant ever get them this clear with my 100mm and tubes, I can find them then I take my glasses off and they are lost again
Anyway, soon be macro time when it warms up a bit more.
Do keep your shots coming as it keeps us interested

After much hunting I have still never found a globby, I am envious.

Nice work
The first is Dicyrtomina-saundersi the other globby I am less sure about

Is this with the 90mm and no tubes or achromats?

I like the snail, excellent

The colours in the last snail pic work really well as does the focus on its eyes.
