Hi

I have photographed this Collembola (eating on Sarcoscypha coccinea) on 24 march 2007 in Retezat Mountain (~900 m) (close to Nucsoara). large ~4mm.

there was more than one exemplary, all eating S.coccinea.

maybe one species ID is possible?

Poduromorpha-ish.

I think Onychiuridae, Tetrodontophora. Tipycal species Tetrodontophora gigas is exactly from Central Europe, Carpathian Mountains and it is unusualy large Collembolas.
