Temperate Springtails

Temperate Springtails
Folsomia candida

Temperate springtails are tiny 1–4 mm, unpigmented hexapods used as a bioactive clean-up crew in terrariums and vivariums.

They help consume mold, fungus, decaying matter, and waste, keeping the enclosure healthier and cleaner.

They thrive around 60–80°F and are hardier and more drought-tolerant than tropical springtails, making them a great choice for temperate setups and beginners.
