Orange Springtails 10ct. (Yuukianura aphoruroides)

Orange Springtails (Yuukianura aphoruroides) are a striking tropical species known for their vibrant orange coloration and excellent bioactive cleanup abilities. These hardy springtails help keep enclosures clean by consuming mold, fungi, decaying plant material, shed skin, and other organic waste, making them an outstanding addition to tropical bioactive habitats.

Their bright color makes them easy to spot within the enclosure while they work to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Orange Springtails thrive in warm, humid environments and are well suited for reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate enclosures, as well as planted terrariums and vivariums.

Each culture contains approximately 10 active starter springtails along with a nutrient-rich culture media to help establish a thriving colony. Given proper moisture and a suitable bioactive environment, they will reproduce quickly and become a permanent part of your enclosure's cleanup crew.

Care Recommendations

  • Temperature: 70–82°F (21–28°C)
  • Humidity: High humidity is required.
  • Substrate: Moist bioactive substrate with leaf litter, sphagnum moss, or cork bark.
  • Diet: Mold, fungi, decaying organic matter, and supplemental springtail food or nutritional yeast as needed.

Orange Springtails perform best in consistently warm, humid conditions. Keep the culture and enclosure moist, as extended periods of dryness can reduce or eliminate the colony.

Includes:

  • Approximately 10 live Orange Springtails (Yuukianura aphoruroides)
  • Culture media to help establish your colony
