Habitat descriptions
Hi Tom. Could you, pls, add some more info about the habitat where you found your specimens. You never take shots in their natural habitat. So it is difficult to ID the less common species. It would help a lot if you would provide some details such as, found on the surface of a waterpool, found behind bark on a tree, in dead decomposed wood, in the soil, in leaf litter, etc...

Habitat
Hi Frans, I found these with a couple hundred others under a rock on an old slab of cement in a big sandy grassy field.
