Kalaphorura burmeisteri
One of the few UK Onychiuroidea springtails that can be distinguished from photographs alone is Kalaphorura burmeisteri. To quote Matthew Shepherd (a UK Soil Ecologist): "this is one species that can be identified by shape alone. It's the only white, blind, springless podger that his this tapering shape, fattest around the middle. Often compared to the Michelin man!"
