#springtail

I always say this lovingly, of course

Idolothrips spectrum (I couldn't find much information on these so I'm not sure whether that spectrum refers to them being variable but none of the others seem to look as strange as this one. Not sure if there's something else going on there) and lepidopsocid

Ophiotettix limosina and phaneropterine

Perola sericea and Melittia sp.

Selandriine and Ghilianella sp.

Holoptilus sp. and Pseudocephalelus bleusei

Chaetochlorops inquilinus and Calodromus sp.

Moluris globulicollis (aka the globeneck globe toktokkie because I can't just leave that name out) and Phycosoma oecobioides

Herdoniine and Cazira verrucosa

Tereticepheus sp. and Moegistorhynchus longirostris

Charistica rhodopetala (there's a gif I can't add here but please watch it) and Tetraglenes hirticornis

Ordgarius magnificus and Papirioides jacobsoni

Exechesops sp. (some have even goofier eyes than this) and Oraesia excavata

Necrophylus arenarius and Mosu sp.

Pachycnema calviniana and Palmipenna aeoleoptera

So I don't usually bother posting the pictures I take of really little inverts, because they aren't all that good and are cropped enough that the resolution is horrid.

I'm making an exception for this guy because he looks very polite
