Springtails *Adult Content, May contain Mating Rituals*

It's fun to watch the Sminthurinus bimaculatus, they are so tiny! The adults are about 1mm long.

Watched two Ceratophysella sp. Lilac molting, and a bunch of them running around!
It seems like the molting process is quite tiring and time consuming.
Springtails shed their skin as they grow, the empty shedding are the white things you see around them.
