More and more springtails kept showing up in one of my samples, so I took a look at the upper leaf surfaces on the vegetation I had collected. One leaf had quite a few springtail eggs on it, "embedded" in sections that had been eaten away. Most had already hatched, but there were still some in various stages of development.
These are pretty small... about 182 micron (0.007 inch) wide.
First two are at 20X on sensor (Olympus LPLFLN 20/0.40)
Last two are at 50X on sensor (Olympus LPLFLN 50/0.50)
