Collembola 8
Coös County, New Hampshire, USA
Caught using a pitfall trap. I know the photos are not the best but it's what I currently have. Any help with identification to the family level is greatly appreciated!

Harpacticoida
Those are microcrustaceans (Copepoda: Harpacticoida).
Enjoy!

Not Collembola...
...but I'm not sure what they are. Early instar bristletails? Crustaceans of some kind? I'll be interested in seeing what others think.

Fascinating!
I assumed the point/appendage at the end was their frocula and they are around the same size (a bit smaller) than other collembola species I captured. Now I'm very interested!
