HOW TO MAKE SPRINGTAILS TRAP (so easy) IN YOUR BACKYARD

Springtail is a small insect group classified under the order Collembola. These insects are typically tiny, ranging from 0.1 to 6 millimeters, and are characterized by a fork-like structure at the rear of their bodies called furcula, enabling them to jump. Springtails are found in various habitats, especially in humid environments like forest soil, leaf litter, and other damp areas. They play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter and maintaining the balance of soil ecosystems. Some springtail species are also utilized in terrariums as part of a balanced micro-ecosystem.

Springtails in a terrarium serve as beneficial microorganisms that contribute to the ecosystem's balance. These small insects, often introduced intentionally, aid in the decomposition of organic matter, help prevent mold growth, and provide a natural food source for certain terrarium inhabitants. Their presence adds vibrancy to the microfauna community, promoting a healthier and more dynamic terrarium environment.
