Juvenile Pauropod

Juvenile Pauropod
Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, USA
April 21, 2012
Size: under .5mm
I found this juvenile Pauropod along with about 10-20 adults living under a rotting log. This guy was tiny, less than .5mm long! I know this isn't a very good photo, but it shows the forked antennae and how Pauropods start out with fewer pairs of legs (this one has three) than they have by the time they reach adulthood.
