Symphypleona, or globular springtails, are ridiculous little creatures. They have this weird lever-like structure called a furcula that lets them spring off the ground and launch themselves into the air to escape danger. Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXeS... 🌿 #Collembola #虫 #macrophotography 🪲🪳

was a dark damp day so I went springtail hunting in the woods - glad I did! 🙇

shot all 4 collembola orders🤩:

1 Entomobryomorpha (metallic blue lepidocyrtine)
2 Symphypleona (contrasty globular, Ptenothrix sp)
3 Poduromorpha (pillowy plump one, unsure)
4 Neelipleona (TINY, Megalothorax?)

Os colêmbolos bolinha podem parecer só fofinhos, mas eles tem um segredo interessante: quando se sentem ameaçados, eles pulam!

Mas não é qualquer pulinho, os saltos dele podem chegar a uma aceleração de 1800 m/s², maior que a de alguns mísseis nucleares intercontinentais. E isso dando cambalhotas.

I started #Invertefest yesterday because @franzanth.bsky.social was posting about it. Still a bit chilly here and mostly ants BUT look at this tiny orange friend! I found an awesome globby- a globular springtail!
(Order Symphypleona)

Springtails are an adorable group of Hexapods. Coming in different shapes and sizes, if you lift a log or stone and see something hopping like a flea, it's most likely a Springtail. This little character is about 1mm long and is, I believe, from the Order of Symphypleona.

Ever seen one?
