Sorry
I messed this up. Would it help if you unlink some of them? It is bound to happen again; I know that others had done the same thing unintentionally.

Yes
I see how it can happen easily. I may have to unlink them and attach them all with thumbnails. I'll do it. Thanks.

Nice intro to Collembola
Dear Lynette, a nice overview of two main groups of Collembola. The large elongate specimens are Entomobryomorpha, family Isotomidae. The smaller globular yellow, green and black specimens are members of the Symphypleona. I doubt the red specimen is a Collembola. The other two main groups are Poduromorpha, also elongate specimens such as Entomobryomorpha, and the Neelipleona, very small subglobular specimens.
