springtail - Pogonognathellus flavescens

springtail - Pogonognathellus flavescens
North Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA
March 11, 2007
Size: ~4mm
The antennae were shorter than the body.

Could be Pogonognathellus flavescens...
but without seeing the length of the antennae it is hard to say. What made you decide it is P. flavescens?

 
I hope I didn't jump the gun
I have another shot that's a little out of focus that shows the antennae are less than 3/4 the length of the body. Would that make this id right?

 
OK Tom
Fair enough ;-)
