springtail - Willowsia buski
Groton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
February 25, 2007
Size: ~2.5mm
I found these springtails under a potted plant in the house. I'm linking a few different individuals for now, because they appear to be the same species at different ages. When they're identified, I'll unlink them.
