| |  [ID] Springtail and a Fly from today...
Evening all 
Two species for ID if I may, please!! 5/2/09  Collembola A juvenile globular sp.? c2mm 5/2/09   Diptera c3mm long, in the garden on a shed... almost reminds me of a snake fly in appearance!
Elsewhere, I saw my first Sminthurinus reticulatus springtail. Anyone know that much about them, distribution, etc.?
Thanks!!
Take care,
Jason  |

The Springtail looks more like a Bark Louse nymph to me ... |

Yes both psocids, very blurry so hard to ID im afraid. The bottom one is possibly Ectopsocus petersi. |

That was no offence to your photo's of course. These guys are very small and are very hard to photo. |

Naturally, none taken!
As I said, this is my first sighting of a bark fly. The weather's set to be good on Saturday so I'll see if there are any more types... thanks for helping! | | | |
