This #forestfriday check out these tiny denizens of the forest: springtails! Also called snow fleas, these little guys aren't actually fleas at all, they're helpful decomposers. They're always around, but are easiest to see when they hop around on top of snow on warm days. Have you spotted any snowfleas lately? #signsofspring #springtails | Northeast Wilderness Trust | Facebook

It's #WorldSoilDay! From earthworms and termites, springtails and nematodes, to the vast range of fungi, protozoa and bacteria, as well as the roots of plants and their symbiotic partners, the hidden life of soils is critical to nutrient cycling, controlling pests and diseases and maintaining good soil structure. 🐛🪲🐞 Our life depends on soil biodiversity. Let's protect it! 📰 : https://www.cbd.int/article/world-soil-day-2023 | United Nations Biodiversity
