Springtails of Swadlincote

Clockwise: Entomobrya albocincta, Entomobrya nivalis, Vertagopus arboreus.


Not many springtails from the National Forest so we trekked up to Pick Triangle at Swadlincote to put some dots on the map. Unfortunately it turned out to be hard work because it was so dry. At Albert Village lake I managed to find one single specimen, a Tomocerus which I managed to lose. Across the road at Pick Triangle we did a little better beating vegetation, but this site needs another visit at a more suitable time of year.
