baby springtails and a red mite
Very nice photographs. I have heard nasty things about mites. Glad I never have encountered any.

Great series along with great eyesight to find them.
I am a bit late in my response. I read today that Springtails are an important part of composting along with, of course, miriads of other little creatures all working together to make nice compost. I have become a keen composter since the cost of compost has doubled in the past year or so after the use of peat is being banned in the UK. The compost they now sell is not that good.
Ummmmm…..WHOA! I’m……like….. impressed!
