Product Details

An arid springtail species with an affinity for wood and bark; they will congregate under any bark available in their culture.

-

Wood Runner Springtails are a great cleanup crew option for dry, low humidity, or arboreal enclosures. They will still require access to a permanently moist area for egg laying and moisture regulation, such as sphagnum moss under the water dish. See the Cleanup Crew Guides for more information: www.springtails.us/cleanup-crew-guides

-

Culture Wood Runner Springtails 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

-

Current restock schedule: Weekly (usually Tuesday nights).

-

Ships on damp paper towel. See the "Springtail Shipping Methods" section on the FAQ page to learn why I use paper towel and how to transfer them to a culture.

Originally collected by Ryne of Springtails US from under the bark of a fallen tree in Illinois. So far only found under bark, full understanding of their ecosystem preference unknown until a species level ID is obtained. Range/distribution unknown until a species level ID is obtained.

Even though II had watched videos and seen pictures, I truly had no idea how small these little ones were! They are tiny and fast and plentiful! I have a feeling I got much more than 50. They were packaged very carefully and were shipped with a lot of isopods as well! Now that I've adjusted and got my little community going, I think this will work out just like I had hoped! This is a fun new project for me and something I never imagined before. I'm 62 and just goes to show you that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
