springtails - Dicyrtomina minuta
Baiting Hollow, Suffolk County, New York, USA
February 19, 2009
Size: tiny
Found these floating in a pail of decomposed sea weed ice water
when I went to take a look to see why the birds were all of a sudden very interested in it.
Should I help them out of the water?
Their patterns are variable.
