Summary[edit]

Description
English: A Caprainea marginata springtail from Ebbor Gorge, Wookey, England.


Original description on Flickr:

Well, I've got a few good reasons as to why I'm thinking this might be Caprainea marginata. The colour for one, and the fact that the setae are thick, pointed and straight, not blunt like L. lubbocki or slightly curved like A. fusca, very similar to the C. marginata f. echinata I found last year in Portugal. And anyway, the antennae are like A. fusca, not L. lubbocki. So.... Any takers?
(Once again, I had a brief window of about a minute so the photos aren't as good as I hoped for...)
Edit- Frans has confirmed that it is indeed Caprainea marginata, the first time ever photographed in the UK and at a new site, Ebbor Gorge in Somerset. C. marginata is a very rare springtail, known previously from two sites in the British Isles- Vigo cave in Ireland, and Keston Common in Kent. So I'm very chuffed about that...
