Globular Springtail

Damp environments including leaf litter, soil, rotting wood, and occasionally indoor areas with high moisture or organic decay.

Primarily fungal hyphae, spores, decaying plant material, and bacteria.

Notable for their 'furcula', a forked appendage used to leap great distances when threatened. They are non-flying and thrive in high-humidity conditions.

Harmless to humans, pets, and structures. Benefits the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter and cycling nutrients into the soil.
