This guy belongs to the family Sminthuridae.

I used to count mites and collembola under a scope all summer. Talk about tedious.

Frank Ashwood has some great photos like this one on Instagram and he's worth the follow

I think it's Dicyrtomina ornata, but I don't know anything about identification.

We should get Frank on Lemmy, or Pixelfed. I stopped using Instagram and use https://pixey.org/Stilling now.
