An extreme close-up photo of a dark weevil with bronze highlights on its pronotum and distal leg segments. A much smaller, pale reddish springtail, a globular-shaped animal similar to an insect, is riding on the weevil's back.

Another extreme close-up photo of a dark weevil with bronze highlights on its pronotum and distal leg segments; the weevil is partly out of focus. A much smaller, pale reddish springtail, a globular-shaped animal similar to an insect, is riding on the weevil's back. Bright sunlight is illuminating the pair from behind.

A twofer! A springtail (probably a juvenile Ptenothrix), riding on the back of a weevil (Sthereus horridus). I often find springtails riding other animals.

An extreme close-up of a tiny six-legged arthropod with a round football-shaped body covered in geometric patterns of dark orange-brown over a pale yellowish base.

Ptenothrix beta is one of many globular springtails that I find around the Lower Mainland, though this species is less common than the many undescribed Ptenothrix species!
