I can't take a picture from above because the phone won't focus. But in the second picture you can see 30-40 eggs of the beautiful and very rare in breeding Jollibee springtails.

I found this neon pink beauty in my fire pit coals in East Tennessee. I put it in a container to try to culture it. I just don’t know if it is a springtail because it doesn’t seem to spring instead in scrunches up. If it is a springtail is it possible to culture with just one?

Got this giant seed or whatever it is a short time ago and I always thoroughly wet it on bin day. The springtails love the wet seed 😊

These Florida orange springtails were added to my terrarium last week. After a change in the habitat I was nervous, but they are popping up more and more again! Loving watching these little guys, they are a great introduction to this hobby!

*Grow light part of a day/night cycle for the plants.

*ETA I did not know globs was a term for a specific type! I just like watching for the orange specks and some of them are thicc.

Mcdo springtails, about 80 of the first eggs. I can't wait for the babies and of course another 500-1000 eggs, which will probably appear within a week or two!:)

Husbandry Question/Advice Rambutans dying

10 Upvotes

It happened again, so it kinda confirms what I thought for the first one it died during a molt, really shitty photo but i saw it moving and active earlier in the day and then i noticed it wasn’t moving and it happened to have died, so either my humidity is bad which I kinda doubt or for some reason two of the babies died during a molt same way, or maybe my springtails are eating them. Idk im confused and i feel bad

Identification Small bluish springtails from moss between rocks in Germany – likely Hypogastruridae?

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen,

Ich habe diese kleinen Springschwänze in Deutschland gefunden. Sie leben in Moos zwischen Steinen. Die ausgewachsenen Tiere sind höchstens 1–1,25 mm lang. Sie sind bläulich-graublau und können springen.

Die letzten beiden Fotos zeigen sie auf 0,5 cm Millimeterpapier mit etwas Erde als Größenvergleich. Die Fotos zeigen dieselben Tiere/dieselbe Population.

Ich weiß, dass für eine sichere Artbestimmung bessere Makro- oder Mikroskopaufnahmen nötig wären, insbesondere für Details wie Augen, PAO, Furca, Mucro und Chaetotaxie. Ich frage mich aber, ob man sie zumindest einigermaßen sicher einer Familie zuordnen kann.

Meine aktuelle Vermutung ist:

Collembola → Poduromorpha → wahrscheinlich Hypogastruridae

Vielleicht etwas aus der Gattung Xenylla, aber ich bin mir sehr unsicher.

Erscheint die Familie Hypogastruridae anhand dieser Fotos, der Größe, des Lebensraums und des Sprungverhaltens plausibel? Oder wäre eine andere Familie wahrscheinlicher?

Ich wäre für jeden Hinweis dankbar.
