Orchesella ? - Entomobrya nivalis
47.63055N 52.68767W (WGS84), Logy Bay, Northeast Avalon, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada
April 23, 2009
Size: 2mm body length
I shook a small branch on a spruce tree and this 'bug' fell out into my collection container. Is this another Orchesella? It looks a lot like the Orchesella cincta that I found on April 19th, but the head and antennae are not the same colour:

Order Entomobryomorpha ? - Orchesella cincta

Entomobrya nivalis
To distinguish Entomobrya from Orchesella:
note the relative length of the 4th abdominal segment. In Entomobrya it is much longer than in Orchesella.
