Bourletiella christianseni
Hi Joyce. It turns out to be a very nice coloured species of the family Bourletiellidae. I have taken the liberty to provide your picture as illustration at our website collembola.org. Ofcourse you keep full copyrights and credit. I would welcome more of your images in the future.

thanks Frans
for the species ID! You're welcome to use my photo on your web site.

I'll move this image to a species page as soon as I sort out some issues with the family under which Bourletiella should go. See my questions here -- and feel free to comment. We need to get all the Bourletiella species under the same family, whichever family that is.

Thanks for permission
With respect to the Bourletiellidae page. You can best keep the page. Jim will move his images of B. hortensis soon. There are more Bourletiella images to be moved. So, pls, keep the Bourletiellidae page in the guide.

Possibly Sminthuridae
Hi Joyce. Good shot of a nice looking globular springtail indeed. Possibly family Sminthuridae. But I need to check the pigment pattern in more detail. Will be back...
