Springtails & a larvae macro

Developed & scanned my first roll of Kodak Elitechrome 100 EBX slide film of the year of macro shots of springtails and a larvae taken at Rhinefield, New Forest. This slide film will not be available much longer as Kodak recently announced the discontinuation of slide film.

All of these were shot using the Zuiko Olympus OM 38mm F2.8 lens at F16, with wide angle flash filters on the Olympus OM T28 twin macro flash system.

I manage to find both the elongated & globular springtails (Entomobrya nivalis) and also a weird larvae, possibly a lacewing (although yet to be officially identified as such)
