User's notes
Very large for a springtail, about 1.5 mm. On a eucalypt trunk with ants that were not much larger, but they did not interact. Looks similar to sighting 4282456 which was also on a tree trunk and was identified as Hypogastrura, but this was much larger and a different shape from the usual Hypogastrura. Possibly something else in Order Poduramorpha.
