multicolored hypogastrurids - Ceratophysella

multicolored hypogastrurids - Ceratophysella
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
Size: 0.38 - 0.72 mm
I revisited the rearing container in which I had discovered a multitude of these tiny springtails swarming. They had multiplied substantially. Looking at the previous photos of this batch I see that they did seem to come in various hues but for some reason their varied coloration seemed more striking this time.

Ceratophysella
The specimens with yellowish abdomen remind me to female specimens bearing a lot of almost fertile eggs.
