Springtail

Moist soil, leaf litter, and other damp, organic-rich places; indoors when humidity is high.

Feeds mainly on fungi, algae, bacteria, and decaying organic matter.

Wingless and often found in groups. Many springtails jump using a tucked-under abdominal fork called a furcula; they thrive in humid conditions.

Harmless to people, pets, and household furnishings. Helps break down organic matter and recycle nutrients.
