A close-up photo of a six-legged arthropod with a mostly pale/yellow body with a large number of black markings, and with a body covered in very long hair-like structures that look a bit like a large mohawk haircut.

Orchesella villosa is one of my favourite springtails! They're quite large (up to 4-5mm or so) and very fuzzy looking.
