Tomoceridae? - Tomocerus

Tomoceridae? - Tomocerus
Lenexa, Johnson County, Kansas, USA
February 27, 2018
Size: ~2.5 mm
Found under bark of dead walnut. Note to self: when collecting tiny creatures, do not put predators in the same container!
I believe the tiny springtail that photo-bombed the one image is Entomobrya. Nice to see side-by-side comparison.

Thank you!
I was dismayed at first, but then realized it would make a good photo!
