Adventures of a tiny white gummy bear. When you're a springtail this smol, microfungi are perfect drinking vessels, and slime mold sporangia are towering trees.

I've not been out with my camera much lately; with parenthood, work and book edits taking up all my time. But I hope to pick back up with the macrophotography very soon! New Zealand's hidden soil treasures await discovery!

A photograph of a colourless, soft-bodied springtail crawling on the surface of a log. Tiny cup-shaped white mushrooms cover the log, and the springtail appears to be drinking from one of them
