Surprisingly small, so much as I hadn't noticed it!

Paul Iddon

Checking back through the caterpillar images just recently taken, I was surprised that I overlooked this - the first one I took but rejected because I thought it was too "straight on" but on second inspection tonight, I realised that there was an extra subject in the image. Not 100% in focus on it, as I was concentrating on the caterpillar, but if you consider the size of the central critter, you can appreciate why I hadn't noticed the tiny mite!

This is brilliant Paul

Often we miss the little critters hiding in our photos .

I saw one on another leaf (I ignored that to be truthful, - thought it was way to small to tackle) - this was in the pot with the strawberry plants in it - so I wonder if they are particular to this, or just a general mite...

Wonderful shot Paul - it's a small globular springtail.

Thank you Brian - I didn't think it was, but there you go.

Cheers.
