Multicolored Globular Springtail - Vesicephalus occidentalis
Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, USA
January 25, 2019
Size: 1mm
I pulled a large piece of bark off the ground and turned it over. There were dozens of globular springtails on it. A few different types, and of many different sizes.

This one had a few different colors on it.
