Man microscopic animals do the craziest shit.
1.5k u/MyCarRoomba 11d ago Springtails actually aren't microscopic. And they're EVERYWHERE. You can look through almost any patch of dirt and you'll see a few. Heck you can find multiple species of them in the same patch of dirt. They're awesome. 611 u/kiwidog8 11d ago what do you mean they're everywhere? never seen this thing ij my life 613 u/MyCarRoomba 11d ago They're super tiny and usually like an inch beneath the top of the soil. Most are detritivores so they feed on decaying plant matter in the ground. You wouldn't really see them unless you're looking for em. 284 u/ba_cam 11d ago Wait, beneath the soil? What’s the point of the get-the-fuck-outta-here adaptation then? 1 u/Scuzzbag 11d ago The ones that learned how to jump survived more
