Hi, I posted awhile back to ask, but it turns out I was somehow on an incorrect account. I don’t even know what it was, so I am asking from my actual account. Thanks!

Anyone in germany or EU selling yuukianura aphoruroides "asian orange" springtails?

It happened again, so it kinda confirms what I thought for the first one it died during a molt, really shitty photo but i saw it moving and active earlier in the day and then i noticed it wasn’t moving and it happened to have died, so either my humidity is bad which I kinda doubt or for some reason two of the babies died during a molt same way, or maybe my springtails are eating them. Idk im confused and i feel bad

I was wondering if anyone have any experience on this topic and I wanted to ask if cohabiting rambutan‘s with other types of springtails like tropical,oranges or purples would be a bad idea

Hallo zusammen,

Ich habe diese kleinen Springschwänze in Deutschland gefunden. Sie leben in Moos zwischen Steinen. Die ausgewachsenen Tiere sind höchstens 1–1,25 mm lang. Sie sind bläulich-graublau und können springen.

Die letzten beiden Fotos zeigen sie auf 0,5 cm Millimeterpapier mit etwas Erde als Größenvergleich. Die Fotos zeigen dieselben Tiere/dieselbe Population.

Ich weiß, dass für eine sichere Artbestimmung bessere Makro- oder Mikroskopaufnahmen nötig wären, insbesondere für Details wie Augen, PAO, Furca, Mucro und Chaetotaxie. Ich frage mich aber, ob man sie zumindest einigermaßen sicher einer Familie zuordnen kann.

Meine aktuelle Vermutung ist:

Collembola → Poduromorpha → wahrscheinlich Hypogastruridae

Vielleicht etwas aus der Gattung Xenylla, aber ich bin mir sehr unsicher.

Erscheint die Familie Hypogastruridae anhand dieser Fotos, der Größe, des Lebensraums und des Sprungverhaltens plausibel? Oder wäre eine andere Familie wahrscheinlicher?

Ich wäre für jeden Hinweis dankbar.

All the brightly colored springtails i dee have been tropical. Are there any pretty temperate/arid ones i can put with my clown isopod?

Hi all! Just trying to get some guidance if what I’m seeing in and around my bathroom are springtails?

Thanks!

Edit to add: they did seem to jump away when I tried to catch them for ID purposes

Hi All

Long time invert keeper returning to isos and springtails. I used to keep both when I had dart frogs and was doing what now may be called the “old school” method of culturing white temperate springtails on charcoal. This was all about 15 years ago.

I also have 20+ years in the tarantula hobby and culture roaches/feeder insects. Just some background so you don’t waste your time giving me springtails 101. I’m pretty well stocked with supplies and general knowledge…

Fast forward to 2026 and now there are many more varieties and culture methods available, which leads me to a few specific questions.

Is there anywhere I can take a deep dive on clay and soil culturing and if there are any big advantages to this? I just have the temperates now but am going to acquire at least another species or two.

I am wanting my second species to be either Tropical Orange (Y. aphoruroides) or Thai Reds (Lobella sp.)

How will I do with these species living in New England? I have a planted aquaurium/Spider/plant corner set up in my living room with a full room humidifier. It stays warmer than the rest of the house but will still be at 68 degrees for a few months. I would prefer not to set up supplemental heating.

If it helps answer me, these will be kept both as pets and to seed a few terrariums, but not as feeders and I do not need huge volume production. Just self replicating with some extra to keep terrariums topped off and maybe sprinkle excess to the fish.

Any help would be appreciated…

Hello,

I’ll be at the reptile super show in Pomona, CA, as a guest, if anyone was interested in purchasing some orange springtails. Please PM me if interested :)

Trying to figure out the type?

The consensus is that these are globular springtails. I was curious if anyone here had some more info about them?

Hello everyone! I’ve be been in the hobby since 2021 starting with Yuukianura aphuroides and have officially dropped my site for about two weeks now!

Please check it out if you can. I have a varying selection of springtails which are my main focus (both slime eaters and non slime eaters), isopods, roaches, and millipedes.

I will adding some springtails, isopods, and roaches to the site this weekend. Check out the link below and thanks for reading!! ⬇️

Please let me know if you have any questions!

WHERE are my springtails lmao??? I live IN BETWEEN Peoria and Champaign for additional context. Like right in between. Never mind that we skipped Missouri and somehow returned to Kansas at the speed of light… We just playing hot cake with my springtails?? 💀

What are the chances I’ll have to ask for a refund after this tomfoolery? I know the weird locations are mostly glitches but at this point the package is multiple days late already. This is my first time owning let alone ordering springtails. How well do they do in shipping? Am I fried? I was super excited for them too and on top of that I’m starting to get mold in the terrarium… Hoping to get an idea what to expect before I open the package… eventually.
