springtail - Hypogastrura

springtail - Hypogastrura
Erie Bluffs State Park, Erie County, Pennsylvania, USA
March 12, 2007
There were dozens of these crawling around on a dead tree reaching up out of the snow. I'm assuming that it is the genus Hypogastrura.

Hypogastrura sp.
Well done, Ben.
It could be H. harveyi, the most common of the US 'snow fleas'.
