Anyone recognize this tiny insect (or maybe springtail?) I found resting on avocado leaves in my greenhouse? It was very hard to photograph because it is only about 1 mm or at most 2 mm long.
I only see one of them, so I’m leaving it alone for now in case it maybe wants to eat some aphids or soft scale as it grows up. So far those are both present in the greenhouse, but the aphids only in small localized populations on particular plants that then seem to vanish overnight sometimes, and the soft scale only really on one of the avocado trees.
I assume something is eating the aphids, but I’ve never seen what. Spiders, maybe? There are so many different species of spider in there, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them went after aphids. And so far no ants have found the greenhouse, so the aphids are thankfully defenseless.
