Globular Springtail - Dicyrtomina ornata

Globular Springtail - Dicyrtomina ornata
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
April 14, 2007
Size: 1.5mm
I found this very dark Springtail under a board in the garden. (next to it is one of those shiny mites I posted a week or so ago). I think it's D. ornata, but because it's so dark, I'm not sure.

Dicyrtomina cf. ornata
Indeed. The typical rectangular dark patch at its butt can be seen clearly.
