Fast breeding and very active arid springtail.

Seira bipunctata are an excellent cleanup crew option for dry or low humidity enclosures. They have a good appetite and reproductive rate and are very active. They will still need access to a small area of permanent moisture such as sphagnum moss under a water dish. See the Cleanup Crew Guides for more information: www.springtails.us/cleanup-crew-guides

Culture Seira bipunctata on soil with a moisture gradient and high ventilation only. Feed yeast, dry rice, or Springtails US springtail food mixes. See the Care Guides for more information: www.springtails.us/care-guides
