Field Notes

Notes:

These small arthropods look like white centipedes, but are in a totally different class. I usually find these under rocks in rich soil.

You are so modest Tom. Look at the antennae ! Mine's just a fuzz...anyway, it's good to see all the parts so clear. I am hoping the next time I see one of these I'd be able to get a clearer shot.

Thanks Leuba. It showed well on the dark background.
