Description

Caret Down

Small-medium sized springtail that tolerates semi-arid environments.  Extremely slow reproducing, and they are not the easiest springtail to keep.  It does not work well for us in bioactive enclosures, and others have had difficulty with this species in bioactives.  The 8oz. culture is on a soil substrate, and it contains 30+ springtails.

If you are searching for springtails for an arid or semi-arid bioactive enclosure, Lepidocyrtus fimicolus 24K, Seira dowlingi, or our Mixed springtail culture work very well.  Always keep a damp area under the water dish or provide a bug den to keep your clean-up crew healthy and happy.  

Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.

Springtails will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss and organic topsoil.

Skill level:  Intermediate springtail

Humidity:  Tolerates arid environments but is hit-or-miss with how well it survives in bioactive terrariums.

Breeding:  Slow breeder

Feeding:  We feed baking yeast
