The smallest Poo

[Bilbo_baggin]

Well, that grabbed your attention then didn't it?

And here is you think surely nobody in their right mind would post a photo of some poo...

And then I arrived.



Springtails are tiny yeeny creatures, that you'll find in the garden and especially in the garden at night. This is one of the largest ones you'll spot - and one of the longest jumpers too.

This one is the Orchesella villosa variety. Size is about 4mm long. And that obviously means that the poo is gonna be small.

I may be totally wrong of course, that what is at the back end of this little leaper isn't actually poo at all, but some bit of soil or similar, but to be honest, it kinda looks like poo.

And on top of all that, it has a nice hairstyle as well

WDYT?

What is the surface it's on? Brick/terracotta pot? Whatever it is it gives a very nice background colour.

And that is definitely a doo doo.
