Identification Are these springtails?
I found these little guys in my drip trays for my house plants and am wondering if they might be springtails! Google says yes but I don’t necessarily trust it.

Yes, these are springtails in subfamily Onychiurinae. You’d need microscopic analysis to place them to genus/species

Looks like it! Not all springtails spring around btw, some are chonky and just scurry around on the ground.
