Unclear; likely a small springtail or soil arthropod

Moist soil, leaf litter, compost, sand, and damp areas around plants or buildings.

Primarily feeds on fungi, algae, decaying plant matter, bacteria, and other organic debris.

Often occurs in dense groups and prefers moisture; many species jump using a forked appendage called a furcula. They are wingless and molt repeatedly as they mature.

Generally harmless to people, pets, and buildings, and they do not bite. They help decompose organic matter and recycle nutrients, though large indoor numbers indicate excess moisture.
