This lovely chap was from St. Columba falls, in the NE of Tasmania. I photographed this species a few times, but this was my favourite. It's a twenty two photo stack, which took over ten hours to do, mostly due to the cobwebs, which as anyone who has tried will tell you, is bloody tricky to do! The detail is worth having a look at.... The three blobs of liquid are drops of water, stained by tannins from the wood she's standing on. I've now realised that my computer is failing, which has made my colours impossible to judge. I've been re-editing them, not really thinking any more about it. I only properly began to worry yesterday, when I noticed that all my re-edited photos had become over contrasted again, highlights blown out and blacks smothering detail. So I looked at my recent Flickr photos with an iPad instead and went, "Oh shit." They look terrible. So it looks like I've been uploading duff photos, which I think has made them look a bit washed out, or yellowish and it's finally come to a head and got too bad to ignore. So apologies. Obviously, not excusing my often just bad photography... I'm buying another computer in the next few days so fingers crossed. This photo was from before the problems happened, I think, so please let me know if it's OK.

They don’t really have a thousand legs. Millipedes are sometimes called “thousand-leggers,” while the similar centipedes are called “hundred-leggers.” Millipedes actually have two pairs of legs per body segment. They add body segments, and legs, as they grow, so most adults end up with 30 to 90 pairs, but one species has over 300 pairs

This little, dusky, collembola is freshly molted and out in the snow, where the sunshine warms him. According to Cornell Fungi, he can really leap. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cornellfungi/
If you pin only one springtail, pin this beauty. He is the "it" springtail. http://xdkcx.jpkc.cc/xdkcx/
