Globular Springtail

Found in soil, leaf litter, rotting wood, and on damp surfaces like concrete or garden tiles, especially in humid conditions.

Mostly fungivorous and detritivorous, feeding on fungi spores, algae, moss, and decaying organic matter.

Notable for their 'jumping' ability facilitated by a fork-shaped appendage called a furcula located beneath the abdomen. They are most active in moist environments and undergo hemimetabolous development.

Harmless to humans, pets, and structures. They are beneficial to the ecosystem as they help break down organic matter and cycle nutrients back into the soil.
