Springtails are tiny, pinhead-sized arthropods. The most commonly seen species have a somewhat elongated body.Springtails are wingless and crawl slowly, but have a unique means of locomotion—the "spring tail." This involves a fork-like structure (furcula) attached to the hind end that can fold under the body. Upon release, the furcula pushes the springtail and allows it to jump short distances.
