Invermere, Columbia Valley , British Columbia, Canada

I believe these are Onychiurus or Hymenaphorura cocklei (golden snow flea) based on that this is the only sp noted as being in BC (Onychiurus cocklei) as per E-Fauna BC. The observation was at elev 2000m (6561ft)on winter snow remnant on a subalpine trail.
