I`m wondering if these are baby millipedes ?, about 2mms under rotten wood.
I have seen several adult Spotted Snake Millipedes in this area recently ...   |

Hi A_M,
See this Google cache of the-piedpiper.com, about young millipedes. http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=1&gl=uk
Sorry, I don't know that much about them personally.
Take care,
Jason |

I would say a species of spingtail, there are not enough legs or sections to be a millipede. |

They could be White blind Springtails, Onychiurus spp.
However, the young form of millipedes (called nymphs?) have only six legs, or so I've heard. |

It seems they are Millipedes ... Frans Janssens says: Quote:
Not springtails but juvenile Diplopoda. One of the first instars. A good illustration that diplopods are born as hexapods.
But they do resemble springtails in a sense. Well observed.
