Springtail

Moist environments, leaf litter, decaying wood, soil, and occasionally damp indoor areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

Detritivores feeding on fungal hyphae, spores, bacteria, algae, and decaying vegetable matter.

Known for their jumping ability using a specialized appendage called a furcula. They often congregate in large numbers where moisture is abundant and reproduce rapidly.

Harmless to humans, pets, and structures. They are beneficial to the ecosystem as decomposers, helping to cycle nutrients back into the soil.
