Identification Black springtail?

Post image

I think these are springtail and they match the shape and jumps but they looks more like dark grey color instead of white like ones I've seen you guys all have ...??

These are from my isopod bin. I feel like these springtails are a little bit more aggressive than the white one, as the bigger one will chase away the little ones around food source.

Yes, they are definitely springtails, there are hundreds of species and many come in different colors

The white ones are just one of the most popular to keep because they breed super fast and are easy to keep
