Looks like some serious cross-species stuff was kickin' it up between the bunnies and the buggies! Those are some odd looking critters indeed.

But I really like the image!

"Globbies", I call them. Despite looking, I have yet to see one of this sort. I see plenty of the elongate kinds.

As you likely know, they are tiny. They were collected a few days ago in a Berlese Funnel sample along with quite a few large hairy elongate species.
Weather here is cool to cold and obvious wildlife is absent. So, collected some old leaves in odd corners of the garden and ran them through the funnel; lots of interesting critters.
