I tried several times with this type of springtails, and I’ve finally gotten their care just right. The population has exploded, and I love watching these busy little springtails. Great for anyone that likes observing a busy culture.

These little critters arrived very lively and eager to explore. I can barely see them, but once a wettish dot skitters across the surface, I know it's one of these lovelies!!!
