I almost forgot it was #MiteMonday! From under one of my reliable dead logs just a few days ago, a mesostig with its prey, a tiny white springtail; a slug for scale; and a smaller, paler mesostig crossing paths with another springtail (which it did not try to eat).

Does anyone knows what does crossodonthina koreana eat? I don't know and can't guess it.
I was just leaving High Park yesterday when I stopped on a whim to flip one last rock, and found this adorable little poduromorph springtail underneath! It took a tumble as it crawled around the rock, but it got back on its feet.
