They feed on decaying organic matter, fungi, algae, and some plant tissues

Notable for their 'jumping' mechanism using a furcula to escape predators. They are semi-social and thrive in high-humidity areas.

They are harmless to humans and pets. They benefit the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter and cycling nutrients into the soil.
