Moist environments including soil, leaf litter, under bark, and occasionally found on walls or indoors in damp areas.

Detritivore; feeds on decaying organic matter, fungi, algae, and bacteria.

Known for their jumping ability using a tail-like appendage called a furcula; they are non-insect hexapods that remain active year-round.

Harmless to humans and pets; highly beneficial to ecosystems as they assist in the decomposition process and nutrient cycling.
