I found this on a piece of dry, crumbly, rotton Silver Birch bark on which I hoped to photograph some of the large springtails, such as Tomocerus or Orchesella.
This Dicytomina saundersi was also present. At one stage, it got stuck to, probably, some slug slime, after coming into contact with one. Images from that have been posted elsewhere. I managed to free it, with the aid of some very fine shreds of vegetation and then followed it as it climbed up and down the very three-dimensional and rugged "terrain". Framing it and focusing was extremely difficult, such that I did not dare try for alternative shooting angles.
EM-1, Leitz Photar 50mm at f11 1/60*, ISO 400, on extension to ca 150mm from the sensor, flash, hand-held.
* Not the usual choice. It should have been maybe 1/250.

I hope the next encounter is on flatter terrain!
