Still getting to grips with using the microscope mode on the new camera in the wild - insects can be quite fast! Hopefully decent enough photos though, sorry about the blur…! This was a tiny creature, no more than a mm long. Looking online it seems to be an Entomobrya sp., and judging from photos (I.e. here http://collembole.free.fr/www.stevehopkin.co.uk/collembolamaps/Entomobryomorpha/192ENniv/index.html) it looks like it might be Entomobrya nivalis, but I don’t really know springtails at all so I couldn’t be even slightly confident!
