springtails Culture ( mix )

sorry all my springtails have been mix, they just jump from one freeding box to another. so i can's sell them separately now. as white one is more actiove, so most will be white. you maybe also found some purple, gold, red head white, or globular springtail. they just all mix up~ 

in the soil will also have some other bugs which very hard to get only springtails, all bug stay togther. but if you want springtails only in your set up. can put them in a plastic box, then slowly fill up the cold water, springtails will float, then you will get springtails only( last 2 photo)

Springtails are excellent additions to bioactive enclosures and thrive in damp conditions were they will feed on mold, fungi, feces and decaying plant matter (like dead leaves & wood) in your terrarium. They're perfect for cleaning up after your pet and helping keep their environment healthy! 

It also have Oribatid mites inside. They are drawn to decaying organic matter – leaf litter, dead plant parts, dead insects, and nematodes.  They also eat fungi, molds, moss, and algae.  They are slow in their life cycle (from 2 to 7 years!), reproductive rate, and movements.  As they slowly walk along, they disperse nutrients (especially calcium) through their waste.  Populations take a long time to build – their presence indicates a healthy soil.

This auction is for a start culture that'll around 100 - 200 of it. and you don't need lots of them to start. main will be white color but some purple will mix in as they all mix in my tank, i can't separate them out.
