2020 July 5 evening<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Continuing with Mr E’s queue of difficult ones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   First a fungus covered with numerous springtails and a few mites.  It took several seconds for Dr Heather Proctor, University of Alberta, to reply to my query re the mites.  Her area of expertise is mites, so I didn’t really expect her to work on the springtails – but she had a go at them, too!   This is what she wrote, as I say just seconds after I asked!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   The long-legged mites belong to the prostigmatan family Cocceupodidae (or Eupodidae, depending on whether you accept Cocceupodidae as a separate family). Probably the genus Linopodes<\/em><\/strong>. For the springtails, I will guess Hypogastruridae but don’t take my word on that!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  Since I have never seen the long words Cocceupodidae or Eupodidae before, I am quite happy, for the purposes of Invert Alert, to accept the former as a separate Family!<\/p>\n

   Rosemary Jorna photographed this bumble bee.  Annie Pang makes a very tentative identification, but she remarks that often it is easier to identify a bumble bee if photographs are available from several different angles  (e.g. dorsal, lateral, frontal, etc.).<\/p>\n
