Springtails (collembolla) are tiny white arthropods that are often incorporated into terrariums and vivariums. They are one of the key components to creating a bioactive setup. They also help combat and eliminate common terrarium problems such as mold and algae.
Springtails are extremely easy to keep and culture. Although they are not necessary for terrariums, anyone who wants to get serious with their hobby should really consider culturing these little critters.
