Microvelia reticulata ♀, Entomobrya fasciata
Microvelia (female) with springtail
I only just had enough time to make a picture of this springtail, a minute later it was
the victim of this hungry Microvelia.
The springtail's name, Entomobrya multifasciata, thanks to Frans Janssens of
collembola.org (a large site on springtails). It may
very well have have happened that this springtail landed on the water by accident. Below the
picture of the still living springtail.
