I hope this is a new insect order for me. Can someone tell me a little bit more about this creature?

Can't attach the file at this moment.

Hi, I had to re-compress one of my files to get it attached, and it wasn't because it was too big.

Frown I think there are some problems... I think that there should be someone to take care the forum while Paull is off.. Sad

Occasionally it happens. Must have to do with something in the file headers. usually opening and saving the file again does the trick.

Order Diplura Smile

it seems to be Campodeidae (inside Ordo Diplura) if really the cerci are multi-segmented. to me it seems that is true for this entognathan. Wink


Another info: "The presence of antennae and absence of cerci distinguishes them (collembolans) from the other entognathous hexapods, the Protura (with antennae and cerci absent) and the Diplura (with antennae and cerci or pincers present). " in collembola.org Wink

So, I hope this helps.

Campodeidae without any dout, probably Campodea sp. It's a common insect here in Spain.

Jorge, Isidro, thx for your help. This is a new order for me, I think these creatures are easily overlooked.

for those who collect soil it is extremely common to see them. Smile
