Great photos the springtail reminds me of the isopod infestation I had in my saltwater fish tank a couple years back.

If the pictures are microscopic, how come I can see them?
Seriously, very interesting pictures.

You should see what those photos look like through a microscope, Lloyd.
Reminds me of looking at my slides of "Wing of Fly" and "Leg of Ant" with my microscope as a kid. I think I made some of my own with slices of vegetables and dye, too.

morphman, sorry I don't know where to look, the reaction is pretty much caused in cellular level and if I'm not mistaken the whole trap could move. Pinguicula leaf DSC07784 by Willy Chung, on Flickr Freshwater snail eggs (few days from hatching) DSC07778 by Willy Chung, on Flickr

Ooo what are those dark specs on the ping leaves? Funny that I took plant biology classes and don't remember anything
