Lichens and Collembolids in Toft 1

Delighted to find these two different species of Collembolid in my photo when I downloaded it - I had wondered what all the dark spots were - now resolved as the faeces of these two different species of Collembolid (Dicyrtoma fusca and  Dicyrtomina saundersi on Xanthoria parientina). These were photographed during a walk to the church and back. Species suggestions mainly tentative at this stage!!! I do like the appropriately named Asterisk Lichen - 3rd image..
