Moved
This one is tiny compared to the 3.5mm adult in the guide, and is a lot paler. Frans, thanks for another id and explanation.

Orchesella cincta juvenile
Hi Tom. This is the youngest and smallest specimen of O. cincta in the guide sofar. Compare the pattern with that of other images of juveniles. You will see that the pattern becomes more and more distinct and darker when the specimens grow older.
