Description

Tiny arthropods known as springtails (Collembola spp.) are popular among vivarium enthusiasts for their "cleanup crew" abilities.  We often hear about their use in “bioactive” vivariums. Tonight I am joined by entomologist, Dr. Ann Fallon and  we discuss the biology, reproduction and lifecycle of Folsomia candida.For more information  about springtails and Dr. Fallon visit:https://entomology.umn.edu/people/ann-fallonIf you'd like to support the show please consider becoming a patron and visit:https://www.patreon.com/Amphibicast
