by Springtail Safari

Yuukianura Aphoruroides, commonly known as Orange Springtails, are fascinating microarthropods that make for intriguing additions to vivariums, terrariums, and even some indoor gardens. These tiny, vibrant insects are known for their bright orange coloration, which adds a pop of color to their habitat.Caring for Yuukianura Aphoruroides is relatively simple. They thrive in moist, organic-rich substrates, such as coconut coir or sphagnum moss. Maintaining humidity levels between 70% and 80% is essential, as these springtails require moisture for survival. Regular misting or a small, shallow water dish can help maintain optimal conditions.These beneficial insects are detritivores, feeding on decaying plant matter and fungi. In captivity, they can be provided with a diet of organic leaf litter, Fish Flakes, or specialized springtail food.Orange Springtails are excellent cleaners in bioactive setups, assisting in decomposition and nutrient cycling. Due to their small size and harmlessness, they pose no threat to plants, animals, or humans, making them ideal custodians for vivarium ecosystems. ***PLEASE READ*** If your area is experiencing extreme temperatures your package will be held at the post office for pickup.
