Alliec, welcome aboard! These look great. Have you been hanging out with LordV?
One thing about your BBCode tags... To make the images act like links, you need a slightly different format for the tags. Drop the quotes and be sure there's no newline inside the tags. I have edited your post to fix the first one. You can edit the others yourself if you want. (Just click the Edit button, then you can see what I did and make the others look the same.)

The globular ones mostly live on plant foliage, some on the surface of fresh water, others amongst leaf litter.acerola wrote:I love this creatures. This globular ones are so cute. I photographed them one or two times. But I did not find them since then, only the long ones.

Springtails Collembola
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but the fine detail of thier exoskelton has infinite variety. A small sample:Ken Ramos wrote:As unfortunate in appearance as they are, springtails are quite colorful little critters.
