baby springtails - Podura aquatica

Size: 1mm-ish for adults

I've been quite smitten with these little springtails and the last pictures had babies (I'm assuming)as well. What type of springtails could they be?

Podura aquatica and babies

Woo Hoo! I've made the big time! Of course you may use them!
Do you need any other information? I'm using a CanonPowershot A720IS and I can find the focal length and whatever else if I need to. Thank you

Thanks

for your kind permission. What I need for completing the credits is your name. The copyright on your picture is out of focus...

My name is Gale Motter. The copyright is from where it was posted on "photo of the day" at wolfpark.net. I can send you a copy of the picture without any writing on it if that would work better.

Thanks, Gale

for clarifying. I'll use the close-up picture in which most of the specimens are in focus. Feel free to send me any picture that you think might be usefull as illustration for our Collembola website.
