Springtails in my 'Fish' Tank - Podura aquatica
Nashua, New Hampshire, USA
March 18, 2008
A Poduran from the fish tank being view through my microscope.
This photo was taken by crudely placing the lence of the camera up to the eye-piece of my binocular, dissecting microscope.
It's shown here feeding on a dead Duckweed leaf.
