| Globular springtail, Dicyrtomina minuta forma ornata. About 1 mm. long. I think the translucent globe behind him is a slug egg. |

| And a newborn weed. Each leaf is about twice the size of the springtail. |

Such a cutie!
I brought in a couple of handfuls of garden soil to top up an indoor flowerpot. A pretty springtail came along for the ride.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!

That is the prettiest springtail I've ever seen! I've been keeping an eye out for them this spring; they usually show up on my fence after a rain, but no sign of them yet.
