Do you see that in the bottom right corner?
It looks like a tiny beetle to me...
Can anyone help me with identifying it?
I found it in northern Germany, lower Saxony,
under a stone in the Garden
Sorry for the very bad quality!

Thanks a lot!
I would have never thought of Collembola,
because the only species I have ever seen of them are rather
colored grey/green or brown...
This one looks great with its white dots on black ground.
And now I know why I was unable to find it, when I wanted to take a second, more focused, picture.. it probably just jumped away! :)
