====Description==== The most common springtail a beginner is likely to start with, ''Folsomia candida'' also goes by the name "Common White Springtail". ''Folsomia candida'' is a voracious and fast breeding springtail ideal for use in humid environments such as amphibian enclosures, closed terrariums, crab enclosures, isopod or millipede cultures, etc. Temperate springtails spend much of their time belowground so despite high numbers they are not likely to be a nuisance. They tend not to roam dry ground so are best used in only moist environments or alongside a springtail that will roam the dry areas of an enclosure. ''Folsomia candida'' is also extremely popular in the lab, being used for study in a range of fields from soil health to genome sequencing.
