Globular Springtail

Found in damp environments including leaf litter, soil, gardens, and near vertical surfaces like house siding or window sills after rain.

Feed primarily on decaying organic matter, fungi, algae, and pollen.

Active jumpers that use a specialized forked appendage called a furcula to propel themselves into the air to escape predators.

Harmless to humans and pets. They provide ecological benefits by breaking down organic matter and cycling nutrients back into the soil.
