@liaizon wow they are really cool. I found a tiny one (in US) when I was trying to macro photograph some slime mould. Was such a surprise. probably only 1mm or 2mm long

@liaizon "Unlike most springtails, Holacanthella lack a furcula and cannot jump." Taken from Wikipedia. Super sad, but at least these are real chonki bois. I have isopods and these Holacanthella's could use them as horses.
