Globular Springtail (or Slender Springtail)

Damp environments, leaf litter, soil, under bark, and often found indoors in high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

Primarily fungivores and detritivores, eating mold, fungal spores, algae, and decaying organic matter.

Active year-round; known for a forked appendage called a furcula that allows them to 'jump' great distances when threatened. They are sensitive to desiccation and seek out moisture.

Harmless to humans, pets, and structures. They do not bite or sting. Benefit the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter and controlling fungal growth.
