off-white, fuzzy Elongate-bodied Springtail - Entomobrya
Venice, Los Angeles County, California, USA
January 12, 2010
Size: ~ 2 mm
Found this fuzzy friend running on a rocky wasteland.

Looks like there is a brownish spot between the antennae.

Reminds me of Entomobrya ...

I'm not sure if this is an adult.
