Globular springtail

Damp environments, including leaf litter, soil, rotting wood, and occasionally on porous surfaces or fabrics in moist areas.

Detritivores; they primarily feed on decaying organic matter, fungi, mold, algae, and bacteria.

Active jumpers that use a specialized tail-like structure called a furcula to propel themselves away from danger. They are highly dependent on high humidity levels to survive.

Harmless to humans, pets, and structures. They do not bite or sting. They are beneficial to the ecosystem as decomposers, helping to cycle nutrients in the soil.
