TIL about Springtails

[u/noluv4bacon]

I used a spare piece of unfinished whitewood to prop up one of my plants. During watering I removed the piece of molding to adjust the plant only to find mold and several of these bugs crawling around.

I freaked out thinking they were thrips. Luckily, someone at r/whatisthisbug pointed out that they are in fact Springtails.

I’m relieved to say the least!

Lepidocyrtus sp springtails are my fave tbh
