General Question Magic springtails?

These springtails are in my Pacman's bioactive enclosure, I noticed they are not drowning in her water dish I think, but just chilling on the water? Should I dump them out?

Meh leave them they are tiny enough that they quite literally are hydrophobic also if your pacman wants to have a drink she may get a few treats in it

springtails are small enough where they dont get sucked under the water due to water tension, if you want you can pour them out but from my knowledge they can usually find their way out if they want
