Ptenothrix? - Ptenothrix
Packwood, Lewis County, Washington, USA
December 24, 2018
Size: 4mm
On a garage wall. This looks like Ptenothrix but I get lost in all the variation of pigmentation patterns. This one is much more overall pale than most but seems to have a similar pattern to some with darker pigmentation.

Indeed, a pale specimen of the 4th form of the new undescribed species, tentatively called sp.3. See www.collembola.org for a previous record of this form from Washington by Brenda Dobbs.
