I took this picture in the early spring of 2009. I saw these tiny pink specs on the soil surface of my garden, and I wondered what sort of debris they were. Then I noticed they were moving. The picture was taken with the macro setting on my camera, and the bug is tiny. (Note the thumb on the left.) I have been told it is a rare type of Springtail in the family Poduridae.
