Shooting data: Canon 40D with MPE-65 macro lens, f9, 1/160, ISO 100, diffused Speedlight on side bracket.

In the recent snowy weather I thought I'd see how the Globular Springtails were faring and turned over a few rocks in my garden. To my surprise there were still lots of springtails attached to the underside of the rocks, many partially set into the ice. As the light reached them they slowly started to move and walk around the ice. This individual is Dicyrtomina ornata, approximately 2mm in length.

All C+C welcomed.

Matt

respirándonos, miramos la campiña que adormece el sol,
los valles y los bosques y la humilde flor,
las islas navegando por la soledad...
