Springtail? - Entomobrya clitellaria Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County, California, USA January 13, 2008 Size: 2mm
This one is about 2mm long, 3mm if you include the forward appendages (antennas?). This one (the larger one) stepped onto this leaf from out of the water. It was fairly close to the other globular springtail, but they did not seem to interact. It then seemed to intentionally wade back into the water to continue its journey.
