A big springtail. Think it's a Tomocerus sp. about 4.4mm body length found under a rock on a low wall. All shots focus stacked using zerene taken at 4 or 5X FF.

Frame 4 and 5 are the money shots Brian -seems like the critter is actually trying to work something out in its head

Looks like is has scales.

Excellent images, Brian.

Definitely Tomocerus. Unlikely to be longicornis, probably minor or vulgaris.
