These two stunning forest floor giants are separated by about 80 million years of evolutionary isolation and roughly 1,500 miles of ocean (AKA the Tasman Sea).
For scale, this Tasmanian 'dragon' springtail is on an Australian two-dollar coin (20 mm diameter), and the chunkier New Zealand 'giant' springtail is on a NZ one-dollar coin (26.5 mm diameter). The Kiwi species have the record for largest springtail in the world, but I think the Tassie ones aren't far behind!
They probably need a different name than springtail though, they're both so gargantuan that they have evolutionarily lost their totally pointless springing organs.

As a reward for putting up with all my book promotion, please feast your eyes upon this smörgåsbord of Tasmanian 'dragon' springtails!
These outrageous creatures are related to the New Zealand giant springtails that I've been utterly obsessed with for the past three years. I'm so pleased that I got the opportunity to visit Hobart at the weekend to go on a dragon hunt!
That's not all I saw, however: I'll be adding more photos very soon, including fluffy mites and Tasmanian velvet worms 😮

My other half calls it moss-yoga when I’m contorting, bending, crawling, and balancing through the branches to do some macro photography on yet another delightfully pretty bit of fungi or fluff. And I can only recommend it. You might find a tiny snail in your hair when you get home, but you’ll have journeyed to a a magical tiny realm that is so much more serene than our own.
