I've spent more time this year focusing on the ground layer in the garden & it seems to me in every habitat the closer one looks the more there is to be found. So, alongside my 'Michelin Man' springtail the other day was a smaller companion, another blind poduromorph.... 1/2

Suddenly lots of these tiny (c1mm) globular springtails on sunlit foliage in the garden. Said to be Antipodean in origin, there are two unnamed taxa: speckled flanks/orange back= Katiannidae gen nov1 sp nov2, heavier-marked with lateral lines= sp nov1. Some intermediates too 💚🍃

We had a full @uclarchaeology.bsky.social Lecture theatre last night when we welcomed @ChrisStringer65 with the brilliant Radical Anth Group. Chris revisited his 1993 book, with Clive Gamble, In search of the Neanderthals. Now 30 years on things are so much more complex. 🦣🏺

#TitliTuesday & #TuesdayBlue combined with a precious moment sheltering a tiny #SilverStudded blue #butterfly from strong winds on #Anglesey. And these are the larger cousins of the caernesis SSB's on the Great Orme. Magical #nature. @savebutterflies #butterflies #vitaminN

Found another! Special thanks to @lukaslarge for his identification yesterday that the ‘frill’ is another #fungi, Syzygites megalocarpus, a mould with an impressive mycelium which delights in the common name of Troll-doll Fungus! How cool is that! Zoom in to see the flies!
