springtails in a wind tunnel make for a far more delightful visual than I could have ever imagined ✨

While moving, underneath one of my large plant saucers, I found a colony of springtails. So I used a small hand vacuum to collect them, then emptied the contents into a container I had prepared with activated chemical free charcoal. I now have a little home grown colony of springtails that I sprinkle into my house plants. They are great at eating mold/fungus. I loved seeing them up close in this video! I find them very endearing.

Once they get inside the house they migrate to bathrooms eventually because of the moisture.

I noticed them in my planters too so technician put chemicals in all my pots and thankfully they’re all gone

THEY"RE SO CUTEEEE! 🥰

My crested gecko bio active terrerium has them, theyre very fun watching them eat cucumberw

What goes up must go down. Well, only because it didn't jump hard enough to escape gravity.

I see these blue ones all the times in our gardenhouse. They float in puddles made from our watering system. I dont see any predators other than our boots.

I unintentionally introduced these to my freshwater aquarium. The fish love the occasional live snack, and they help keep things clean!

Water has once again proved vital

The cinematography in this video is so beautiful, especially with the part with blue background

The narration on this one totally makes it. Hysterical!

Now I'm homesick for my little babbling brook :-(

Spring tails thought spring tails were like fruit flys

@3:38 so cool to watch it reset - and so quickly! That’s a lot of energy… unless the energy loading after retraction?

I’ve heard of the ecosystem under water, on land, or under land, but never on water!

Amazing! Deep Look did it again! Pricise analysis of mechanism & kinematics is exceeding expectation! For such a tiny creature, under different regime of aerodynamics/physics, which requires specialized adaptation. How such a feat becomes possible? Here's n answer. Jumping water strider is an extra gift (personally)! Their long slim legs are not only for water surface. Another satisfactory work! Keep it up! Thanks!

To Laura: Just watched the California Turret Spider vid; and now this. Your narrating style and voice is awesome!! Subscribed 😊

There should be a pokémon based on this! A bug-flying type pokémon that ISN'T a butterfly/moth or one that relies on its wings. It could be given some water moves considering it has that water droplet on its belly. Now any bug the size of pokémon would not work in the real world especially something like a springtail but a dog-sized springtail pokémon still able to to all its feats would be on the low end of absurd for pokémon. This imagined pokémon could have design elements drawn from acrobats, high-jumpers and stuntmen. I think it could be a really cool pokémon (or even pokémon evolution line) based on a very cool little bug and cool professionals!

It’s a little joke I do where whenever the Springtails jumps away, they always say “later” when they hop away
