I have to find another one of these! I think the springtail is dead. The furca is in the released position. I wonder if the mite had it for breakfast?

Bdelloidea
The mite is a member of the family Cunaxidae. Although the image is not to clear I would place it in the subfamily Cunaxoidinae. Genus: lacks detail to establish

Any idea what the reddish grub-shaped creature on the left might be ?

I posted some images of these grubs or larvae in ID Request, but they haven't been positively ID'ed yet.
