User's notes
The images show two types of small passengers on a Striped Field Slug. These are the dark grey coloured Hypogastura sp. Springtails and the White Slug Mites Riccardoella oudemansi. The first image shows a Springtail next to the slug’s eye-stalk and Slug Mites towards the underside as well as one within the slug’s pneumostome. The remaining images show a mix of Springtails and Slug Mites on various parts of the slug’s body. This sighting is intended to cover the Springtails.
