Nice work, Stephen
This and the "spreadwing" are my favorites. I'm amazed at how much these are starting to resemble springtails.

Thank you, Ron
Thrips and springtails definitely fall within the same size range ... tough for a digital camera!

I was noticing the same thing, Ron
I think, for me, the shorter antenna length is the key.
