Observations by rebecca234

Too tiny to photograph.
Small group collected from leaf litter outdoors in fall 2022 and introduced to indoor isopod enclosure (unheated) with similar leaf litter -- has proliferated! Slowly introduced in small groups (small scoop of substrate/sphagnum) to 4 more isopod enclosures (holding different species) and has fully populated all of them. No negative effects seen; ispods successfully multiplying themselves.
These springtails are a cream/pale yellow color. Viewed under 30x magnification, this species has a seperate head that is somewhat ant-like in shape, two small dark eyes, six legs (longer than most other species of this shape presented as examples on iNaturalist) on narrow, elongated oval body that is smooth and rounded. Has 2 antennae that look like they've got maybe 3 segments (very similar to isopods in appearance). Body is covered in coarse hairs, with much longer hairs on the area of the thorax behind the head (shoulders/upper back). Largest specimens 2-3 mm in length, less than 1 mm wide. Hypermobile and in near constant movement, does show some preference for congregating under wood pieces as well as in moister areas, but active throughout the surface of enclosure. Observed consuming both potato peels and a dead cricket, extra interest shown, but not swarming them.
