Winter Macro

Still no sign of insect life this year so here are some images taken in late December. I can pretty much guarantee finding tiny Globular Springtails in my garden in the winter months, normally under rocks or logs. On this occasion I wasn't having much luck finding any until I started turning over some wet leaves on my lawn. I soon realised that practically every leaf had at least one Globular Springtail on the underside of it.

These images show the springtails on the leaves which form quite nice backgrounds I think.
