Jumping Bristletail

Commonly found in damp areas such as leaf litter, under bark, in rock crevices, and occasionally indoors in basements or bathrooms.

They are scavengers and grazers that feed on algae, lichens, mosses, and decaying organic matter.

They are wingless, nocturnal insects known for their ability to jump up to 30 cm by snapping their abdomen against the ground. They have long antennae and three long tail-like appendages.

They are harmless to humans and structures. They benefit the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter and serving as a food source for larger predators.
