Collembola ID for the Dead Wood Movie trailer

I happened to mention the Dead Wood Courses and the Dead Wood Movie trailer to Dr. Nataliya A. Kuznetsova, and Mikhail B. Potapov (both from Moscow State Pedagogical University) identified those monster blue Collembola from mt. Hokusan, Japan for me!

“This is a rare species of Onychiuridae – Homaloproctus sauteri Börner, 1909. All onychuiridae are light coloured, but those are dark”.

See them munching from 3’ 58’’. I hope one day I will finish this project and see my dreams realized on a silver screen.
