Around Moscow, 20 aug, on dead tree.
Sorry for the bad quality of image. Sitting on dead tree I hunted Collembolas on tree barc. Instead of Collembola I've seen this animal.
I even can't tell you his size, but it have to be rather small as I used Canon 100macro with 56mm additional macrorings.

Greetings,

Nothing more than that you are right and that they are neigh impossible to identify. Grin
