Elongate-bodied Springtail - Orchesella villosa

Elongate-bodied Springtail - Orchesella villosa
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
November 7, 2006
Size: 5mm
I go out looking for globular springtails, and I find only elongate-bodied ones. This one was differently-marked than the usual ones in my yard. I tried to sharpen the photo as much as I could, but it was kind of dark outside.

Orchesella villosa
Hi Cheryl. The recent finding of Jim of a new Orchesella for the guide motivated me to look again at your specimen. This is clearly a third species for the guide.

Orchesella
Dear Cheryl. You have found this before. The markings are always a bit different in each specimen. But the general pattern matches Orchesella villosa. Put it temporary under Orchesella, untill we have more detailed pictures. Compare with those of Tom.
