Stuff I found under bark at Chobham Common yesterday, for once a springtail was the biggest thing I took a photo of.
6mm (plus even longer antenna)

1mm very cool little mite, another oribatid but very different, this one looked like a tiny seed when I found it. It can seal it's legs and thorax completely up into it's body, and anchors itself in place. Luckily I took a few shots of the mystery seed thing to see if I could work out what it was later, and then it poked it's legs out and legged it very slowly.
