Concerning message #4806:

Hello,
I agree with the diagnostic about the first picture, but not about the second one. These animals are definitely small insects living in the intertidal zone and named Anurida maritima (Collembola). You can find a lot of other pictures of this animal on Google Imge.
Best regards

Dear Jean-Yves,
Thanks for that - 5 years to get a correction!. I guess that's why the Forum is a slug site not an arthropod site. My expert opinion was restricted to knowing they were not Onchidella eggs. At least I recognised them as arthropods.

Thanks for bothring to let us know,
Bill Rudman
