Springtails and a spider

[alfbranch]

Here are some shots from my outing this year in the garden hunting sprintails and whatever else I may find. I was trying out my new camera my Olympus OMD E-M5 MkII with the sigma 105 and 25 mm tube plus Raynox so not the highest mag.

First thing that really got me interested was this spider which happens to have two sprintails next to it which are Sminthurinus niger

This guy was tiny so it is a heavy crop

This one was practicing for the Olympics or it thought I should be Katiannidae Gen1 nov sp nov I think.
