Easiest place to find them is under mossy bark on trees where there's a fair amount of moisture. All you need is a cheap microscope (100-200x magnification should be plenty) and some patience to look through the detritus to find them.
They're really fascinating. My Invertebrate Zoology professor was doing a research paper on them when I took the class, and we collected millions of 'em in really fun field ops, then cataloged them for his research data, during the labs for that class.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
