Sminthurides aquaticus + Podura aquatica

 
Podura Aquatica
These are interesting. Were they found near a lake? I would like to find some.

 
Habitat
These were climbing around on a stick that was floating in a vernal pool, in the middle of a forest. I would love to find some more now that I have a better lens.
