Sometimes with macrophotography things just line up perfectly, as with this photo of a globular springtail (a female Stenacidia violacea) on some moss.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I was just leaving High Park yesterday when I stopped on a whim to flip one last rock, and found this adorable little poduromorph springtail underneath! It took a tumble as it crawled around the rock, but it got back on its feet.

Possibly _Neanura_? #iNaturalist observation: https://www.inaturalist.ca/observations/152306113 :inaturalist:

I've been quite absent from here lately due to busy life stuff, but thanks for all the recent follows - here's a lovely little springtail (Neelus murinus) to say thanks!

Hopefully things will calm down again soon and I'll have more time to regularly post more photos on here.
