Elongate Springtail

Found in soil, leaf litter, decaying wood, and moist areas indoors like bathrooms or kitchens.

Primarily feed on decaying organic matter, fungi, algae, and bacteria.

Possess a specialized tail-like appendage called a furcula that allows them to jump many times their body length when threatened.

Harmless to humans and pets; they provide an ecological benefit by aiding in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling.
