18.03.19 - Leicester Botanic Garden

A quick trip to the Botanic Garden turned into a Collembola version of Goldilocks and the three bears. The first place I sampled was full of Entomobrya multifasciata.

The second place was full of Entomobrya intermedia.

The third place was full of Entomobrya nivalis.

But scattered throughout all three were Katiannidae genus nov.1 sp. nov, which I finally managed to get some decent photos of:
