He he he. I did! ;)
You did have a great time under that rock! :)
Thank you both! They are tiny! I believe they were about 1 mm long. Ants were carrying them off and looked large in comparison.
I had my face quite close to the ground looking at a different organism and saw tiny insects moving around. Happy to get this amount of detail :)
Wow, these insects are very tiny, I guess you have a very good camera
Great photos of something so tiny!
