Great macro photograph you took. I can hardly get such a clear picture of these tiny insects.

I agree with Argy Bee. The smooth orange objects are slime mould fruiting bodies, or some similar fungus. The insects residing with them have adopted a matching color.

its not a part of a plant. i uploaded a more zoomed out photo.

In pic 2 is that a plant part or slime mould which the larva is climbing on? They look a bit like some mealy bug larvae. Good shots.

I think these are springtails. Also called collembola, they are a primitive wingless insect http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/collembola-photo_lat-7880.html http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/11465217
