dc.description.abstractSpringtails are very small (rarely more than 1/5 inch long), pale brown to cream colored insects that seem to hop and disappear when disturbed. The common name "springtail" has been applied to these insects because of this habit of springing away. A hook-like structure on the bottom side of the abdomen is snapped against the ground and this propels the insect. Springtails are commonly found in moist or damp places, usually in contact with soil. Homeowners encounter them in damp basements and on the surface of the soil of household plants.en
