Elongate-bodied Springtails
Burien, King County, Washington, USA
November 3, 2007
Size: 2mm
I actually didn't set out to photograph these guys, but when I blew up the photo of the pla*nthop*per I just posted, I saw them next to it.
Next time I go to the beach, I'll seek them out.
(found on rotten driftwood at Seahurst Beach).
