Pseudachorutes aureofasciatus
This colorful springtail is just 1.5mm. I found it under bark on a large cottonwood log in the woods.

Thanks Mayra!
Wow!
Awesome Tom. Thanks for sharing. These are fascinating creatures!
Thanks bee. I look for all sorts of insects and find the tiny ones the most interesting. It took me a minute to see this one after I peeled back the loose bark. When it started moving I spotted it.
Hi Tom. Great spotting. How did you see this guy? They are so small!
