Product Details

This beautiful species is easy to culture and beginner friendly for anybody looking to get into keeping pet springtails. Sold elsewhere as "Purple Springtails" or “Purple Podura” but we choose to reserve the name “purple” for when an even more purple species enters the hobby. This species produces albinism frequently in culture and Springtails US has isolated the morph.

The springtails came alive and healthy! They laid many egg clutches during shipping which are starting to hatch! They are doing well on their original clay culture, and the soil culture I set up for them. Very prosperous!
