Primitive wingless insects without metamorphosis. Springtails are named for the forked springing organ which most species have at the tip of the abdomen. This is held under the animal and can be forcefully extended causing it to jump many times its own length.
A very abundant group of organisms, in all terrestrial habitats. Their faecal pellets are a major component of many soils, becoming almost the only constituent in some cases.
