I had photographed some mushrooms. As I reviewed the photos, I realized they contained strange creatures I'd never seen before. I had no idea these tiny invertebrates called springtails existed. They're so small that it's not unusual for them to go unnoticed. They are tiny, ubiquitous animals that inhabit every continent. They are probably the most numerous hexapods on Earth.
If you weren't familiar with springtails, here's one for you.
