Globular Springtail - Bourletiella hortensis
Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, USA
April 9, 2021
Found on top of a downspout extension surrounded by moist dirt, mulch, etc. Looks like a "Globular Springtail" of some sort? I had a guess of something near Bourletiella hortensis, but have no experience with this group and so would appreciate input.

I always wondered what all those little specks were that jumped away when you are weeding the garden. I don't know why I never bothered to take a picture of one before!

Wow, thanks!
Now does it belong in the guide, or it is too blurry?
