What Are Devils Hole Springtails?

Devils Hole springtails (Lepidocyrtus sp. “Devils Hole”) are a rare, visually striking species of Collembola with microscopic arthropods that play a critical role in bioactive ecosystems.

As surface runners, they are constantly active across the substrate, consuming mold, fungal hyphae, algae, bacteria, and decaying organic matter.

Their tireless cleaning action keeps your enclosure balanced, healthy, and mold-free naturally with no chemicals, no effort.

Unlike common white springtails (Folsomia candida), these springtails are a specialty collector species, making them a rare and exciting find for enthusiasts who want something extraordinary for their builds.

Care & Housing Requirements

Devils Hole springtails thrive in warm, humid conditions typical of tropical bioactive enclosures.

They pair exceptionally well with tropical isopods, dart frogs, geckos, and other vivarium inhabitants that require a stable, mold-free environment.

Perfect Pairing: Springtails + Isopods

For the ultimate bioactive cleanup crew, pair your Devils Hole springtails with isopods.

While springtails handle the micro-level cleaning of mold, fungi, and biofilm, isopods tackle macro waste like decaying leaves, shed skin, and animal droppings.

Together, they create a fully self-sustaining decomposition engine inside your enclosure.

Recommended ratio: ~100 springtails for every 10 isopods.
