Leaf Litter bug - Ptenothrix

Leaf Litter bug - Ptenothrix
Oxbow Park, Clackamas County, Oregon, USA
January 20, 2015
Size: Very small
The picture was taken through a microscope. We were taking pictures of fungi plants and this little guy (or gal) hitch-hiked in some litter. He's very small, hope the leaf gives some reference. We could see him with the naked eye, but noticed him first through the scope.
