Entomobrya bicolor
Entomobrya bicolor is a species of slender springtails in the family Entomobryidae.
From the article Entomobrya bicolor on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
Entomobrya bicolor has a long, cylindrical body covered in many irregularly-placed hairlike bristles, called setae. It has a distinctive color pattern, with mature individuals having a dark brown or blue-brown body and a yellow band across the abdomen and sometimes two yellow spots near the base of the abdomen. Its six legs are mostly yellow, but darker near the bases, and darken with age. The antennae are nearly as long as the body, and have yellow, brown, and purple pigmentation. In contrast, juveniles are almost entirely yellow and can difficult to differentiate from other taxa.
Range & habitat
Entomobrya bicolor has been collected in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and Illinois.
