Darker girth-banded - Orchesella cincta

Darker girth-banded - Orchesella cincta
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
May 24, 2006
Size: 3.5 mm approx.
Taken from bottom of small overturned log. In this view it's perched on a small nitidulid beetle that's also carrying a mite on its leg.

I think this is just a more deeply colored version of this species I posted previously:

Orchesella cincta
Hi Jim. Your detailed shots allow identification up to species level. Great. Looking forward to see more of your work.
And you are right. O. cincta specimens become more dark, up to complete black, when they get older.

Thank you, Frans.
The great bulk of my time is spent shooting beetles, but since I shoot some pretty tiny beetles (under 0.75mm is my smallest so far), I take some photographic interest in the other tiny creatures I encounter.
