Globby Apple Party

Paul Iddon

There is an apple in the pond, blown off the tree by the strong winds last night, and this afternoon, the globular springtails have set about having a bit of a party on it. These springtails are 1mm or so in size, smaller than the full stop on your computer keyboard. They are the aquatic globular springtails, Collumbola Sminthuridae.

Indeed Brian - you just gotta watch out for the lens hitting the surface of the water as you get close in, bt they'll be there I'm sure

Perhaps the climate in Turkey doesn't suit them?
