This one was a tiny dot found in my glue trap. It's magnified about 100x.
It was completely clear, but it darkened after it died. (I have a 100x children's microscope
so I could tell.) It appears to have six legs and two very long antenna.
It's very very small. Just a dot.http://www.flickr.com/photos/40318501@N08/3705295276/in/photostream/
and
This one is much bigger - maybe more like 16/-1/4 of an inch long.
It's dark brown and had antenna too. It's a bit fuzzy as it picked up by a kleenex.
It seemed dried up and dead at that time.

The second one is a better photo (although still pretty bad).Thanks so much for any help (and reassurance)!!!

Second pic: a miteI can find no mite as big as that bug. There is no mite as big as that bug. Someone (maybe you) already said mite, but I searched, and there areno tmites as big as that. It's big.
Also, the first one under a microscope does not really look like any collembola photos I can find online...but it might be one.
Thanks though!
