Re: Talk About Springtails
On your countries Amazon search up “hypoaspis miles” and it may pull something up. Some species of Camponotus will eat springtails(My species does)SolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 10:49 amWhat country are you in, I know a place

Re: Talk About Springtails
Is it really that bad to have over population of springtails? One way to reduce them is to add something like a big chunk of fruit and wait for springtails to swarm it and then remove the fruit
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Not bad until springtails can’t find food and start dying in mass numbers.cosmo1190 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 11:14 amahh that is,is it actually that bad? will they affected the ant? i see them walk around even in the nest...maybe not very crowded just kinda a lot....and they got no problem with sunlight tooAntloverhuman wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 11:03 amIs it really that bad to have over population of springtails?
