A big globular springtail :)

Lord Vetinari

One of the biggest Dicrotymina springtails i've spotted at around 2.3mm body length. Sitting on one of my water barrels. Taken at 5:1 FF and focus stacked by hand from 3 shots.

What kind of microscope did you use?

Lord Vetinari

Thanks for the comments

rgphoto - not quite a microscope but an MPE-65 at it's maximum magnification of 5:1
