It’s easy to forget all these tiny , but we should expect more of them as and fire interact to accelerate loss.

I only wanted to photograph a small landscape of lichens and mosses...
The extra I got was a lot of unexpected dark-blue springtails in this landscape.
You may zoom in to see them better!

And, best for last??

Springtails!

Seriously every time I see something that doesn’t look right it always turns out to be Springtails. Today it was a small puddle that looked kinda gritty on top.

This is zoomed way in.

Took a day to go check out this I’ve been hearing about. It was lovely. And I found some on the snow!

Today I learned have everted vesicles emerging from the collophore on their abdomens that they can drink from, stand on, clean themselves, and help with their jumping process. Something about the mix of tentacle-like appendages with an arthropod seems very 50’s B-movie to me…

Dieser kugelförmige kleine Racker (wohl fusca) ist gerade mal 2 mm klein und ernährt sich vollständig vegan 🙂

Not much to in Center City in winter but these tiny pseudoscorpions, under some peeling tree bark, scared the hell out of me.

One crawled up my finger claws extended, like attack attack!

But are apparently harmless except to even smaller .

Got my springtails today they are, supposedly, in the spagnum moss they came in but I’m going blind trying to find them. How do I shake or lure them out into a new container of charcoal to get started on multiplying them?

The family breakdown is much less complete. Many records are still identified only to order. Identifications are from barcode matches with identified specimens or work by expert curators.

5 of the 9 most represented families are difficult/inconspicuous groups: Sciaridae, Cecidomyiidae, Chironomidae, Muscidae & Phoridae.

are surprisingly common in Malaise traps

are massively diverse here.

Most of these are groups I would never manage to record otherwise.

3/5

How it's going! This is Pickletopia today. The and have mostly taken over, but the grass is still there. I lack the equipment to photograph them, but there are crawling around in there. I have seen and they're probably still living.
