A tiny, possibly male, Sminthurinus aureus taken at Venus pool a couple of days ago. Once I had found one of these I was finding them everywhere, a beautiful little species. Uncropped image taken at 5x magnification. My thanks to Frans Janssens for pointing out this may be a male rather than a juvenile specimen.

Another Sminthurinus aureus, a slightly larger specimen this time, taken at Venus Pool, Shropshire at 5x magnification and uncropped.

I was lucky to find another tiny springtail today, a Sminthurinus aureus measuring about 0.5mm in length, taken at 5x magnification and uncropped.
