Where are springtails found?
• They often group together in large numbers. • When disturbed they spring (jump) erratically, sometimes over large distances. • Most springtails eat microflora such as bacteria and fungi, decaying plant and animal material or graze other plant related surfaces. • Some are also known to eat waste products from other insects or even their own. • A small number are predators, pollen-feeders, or plant feeders. • They are active during the day and night.
