Thanks Frans
Another new species for the guide! I'll have to keep looking in the leaf litter. Who knows how many different species can be found around here.

Entomobryoides mineola
Hi Tom. I needed some more time to figure it out. Indeed it are juveniles. Adults become up to 2 mm.
New genus and species for the guide. Well done!

Thanks Frans
Could these yellow ones with spots be immatures? They were very small.
