I've been snowed in the past few days so there is little to do but to shoot some of my regular suspects. This is my tiny Springtail in a view that captures his entire being. I placed him on the white back of a business card which to the eye appears smooth but when magnified shows all of its texture which reminds me of our recent snow.
The Springtail is 1/2-inch from tip of its antenna to the tip of its tail.

What a primitive strange little creature it is.[/quote
I did as best I could with it. It's in a bit of rough shape for it's been stored in a tube of denatured alcohol for about two months now and it has lost a lot of its vibrant colors and the body scales have matted as well.
