You'll hopefully forgive me the lack of detail in this - but it is as small as anything I have ever photographed I reckon...

In English, it's a mite, and is very hard to see - they are a part of the soil diversity - Soil organisms are vitally important to sustaining life on land and are fascinating too!

How interesting. I thought of you recently when I caught one of the flies that are living in my compost bin in a vegemite jar. It was a vinegar fly, I believe and I wished I could take a photo of it to see it in macro. It was about 8mm long which is big compared to this mite.
