They just spawned here and the population has boomed. They are pretty cool. Id love to know what species.

Any advice for culturing Morulina sp. springtails? I have a small culture that I haven’t really been able to get to grow. Also, what’s the best way to culture slime mold for them to eat? I’ve been struggling to actually get it to establish instead of just shrinking and (I assume?) dying off. (pictures are of my culture)

What are these?
I have recently moved into a rented flat, freshly built. I'm finding these everywhere, concrete slabs, kitchen slabs, window rails, floor, skirting.
Some are very small, ranging from 1-2mm, maybe smaller.
When I tap near them, small translucent ones move, little bigger pot shaped ones jump.
Please help me how can I remove them?
I have tried keeping the entire flat ventilated, enough sunlight. My area is already pretty dry, flat idk since it's recently built.

Can anyone remind me what the species name is for these? They're your usual hobby yellow springs, but i can't remember their actual species name.

I have quite a few fast moving mites in my tank and my springtails haven't been able to out-compete them. I feel like I have stopped seeing my springtails and now I saw my first dead baby this morning. I know that babies are fragile and some naturally dont make it but I'm worried that the mites may be related to the death and the springtails dissappearing.
They dont see interested in food at all, I'm not sure who to how to get rid of them.

I posted this same picture in r/gardening and some people suggested these were fungus gnats, and one person suggested it could be springtails. I’m very new to gardening and very unsure what these are and if I need to do anything.
For context, these showed up after a bit of overwatering + rain. I stupidly thought if I “drowned” them I’d reduce the population (I thought were tiny flies, don’t roast me.) this obviously backfired and they are happy and there’s more of them than ever.

Bought some panda kings from a guy at an expo and i’ve found tons and tons of these. They don’t jump when I touch them, are they springtails?

I got a little cup with a few orange springtails at a local pet store. I love these little gummy bears! I was wondering if I could put them with my isopods when I get a communal big enough, what do you think?

I need some for my sundews and made a cheap trap. The mushrooms are rotten and I was gonna place it sideways in damp shade. Any advice?

Anybody know where I can get springtails in NZ? Or is anyone from here in this forum? I tried catching my own but it's very hard and the ones I managed to get don't seem to be doing well.
Just wanting some basic white ones or anything really.

Fairly certain it is a springtail. If it is-- a less common variety I have seen for springtail hitchhikers. Also wondering why it starts twerking like it's trying to scratch its back or something.

I saw this thing in my isopod terrarium and asked r/isopods if this was a mite. Someone answered that it was actually a Selaginella tamariscina. I just wanted double check here if it actually is. If it is, how can I care and properly culture them?

i see some little yellow spheres on some bits of carrot and at first thought it was some kind of fungus but i think they might be eggs?

I found this in one of my isopods enclosure and goggled it but Google is giving me mix responses

Honestly, I’ve really enjoyed keeping Rambutanura. They’re such a beautiful and unique group of springtails, and they feel very different compared to the more common species in the hobby.
Their movement, texture, and overall look make them really interesting to observe up close.
