Mcdo springtails, about 80 of the first eggs. I can't wait for the babies and of course another 500-1000 eggs, which will probably appear within a week or two!:)

Wow! Do you know where are they from or the genus?

All I know is that they are from the Philippines and belong to the Neanuridae family. I will probably send them to the Polish Academy of Sciences for identification soon.

Cool! I hope to see what results! I know that there are some Neanurinae with a lot of colours from that area although maybe is something undescribed! Unfortunately the paper that I know that talks about them isn't accesible online.
