I'm working through the spring sample of organisms - counting and identifying. A few new things this time.
This is a young grasshopper (grasshopper nymph). It was so big I could only photograph the head and mouthparts.
This isn't a great photo (it is very hard to take the microscope photos using a camera that works through the eyepiece - you have to totally reset the focus so if you "lose" the thing, it's a big rigamarole to find it again), but it's a psuedoscorpion.
This last one, I'm pretty sure is a pauropod. I know, in the photo it looks like a rolly-polly, but it doesn't have the gills underneath it, and the attachment of the "legs" (the fringey thing) is different, and the texture on the body is different - it's not plates that it can use to roll up, it's more like dimples.
