Springtail

Damp environments such as soil, leaf litter, decaying wood, and sometimes around household water sources like sinks or bathrooms.

Decaying organic matter, fungi, algae, and pollen, acting as important decomposers.

They are wingless and use a specialized ventral appendage called a furca to spring high into the air when disturbed. They reproduce rapidly in moist conditions.

Completely harmless to humans, pets, and structures, while benefiting ecosystems by breaking down organic matter and cycling nutrients.
