Springtail

Damp environments, soil, leaf litter, rotting wood, and occasionally indoors in areas with high moisture like bathrooms or near overwatered plants.

Detritivorous; they primarily feed on decaying organic matter, fungi, mold, algae, and bacteria.

Known for their ability to 'jump' using a tail-like appendage called a furcula. They are highly dependent on moisture and will migrate in large numbers if their environment dries out.

They are harmless to humans, pets, and structures. They are beneficial to the ecosystem as decomposers that help cycle nutrients into the soil; however, they can be a nuisance in large numbers indoors, indicating a moisture problem.
