This curious photo shows two juvenile soil #nematodes as they attempt to grab a ride from a passing #springtail or #mite by gently swaying and questing in the air...

This is my latest blog post about giant springtails. Originally written for another platform, I've redone and expanded the whole thing...! chaosofdelight.org/blog/springtai…
