Usually these little guys, like this one, are a bright yellow or least they have been until now. The temperatures have been quite warm here recently until this weekend when they dropped about 15° F. from where they have been the past week or so. Just winters way of saying, "hey, I am not gone just yet."


If you look a the first image quite closely, you will note that just behind the legs and up close to the bottom of the abdomen, the springboard or furcula of this little critter can be clearly seen. These particular Springtails will put up with a lot of pestering, I have yet to make one jump into the air.
