You can make your own, if you have a 3D printer or a milling machine: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4636877

I think it’s Dicyrtomina ornata, but I don’t know anything about identification.
We should get Frank on Lemmy, or Pixelfed. I stopped using Instagram and use https://pixey.org/Stilling now.


Globular springtails have a unique tail-like appendage under their belly called a furca, which they use to jump and escape from predators. This structure allows them to perform impressive jumps, often flipping through the air as they do so.
Thanks. The third image is a render.
After I designed and 3D printed it I brought it to school when I was an apprentice (now I teach there), where a classmate thought it looked cool and wanted to make it out of aluminium that he got from his job. I got jealous that is was so much cooler than the 3D print, so I also got a large piece of aluminium to make my own.
