I've always like these little guys :D And you always do such a great job of capturing them :thumbup:
I have yet to find any type of Springtails around these parts. I wonder if we even have them :|
They are everywhere there is organic matter and some moisture.
They may be gray and elongated but still appear to jump like fleas. The can move fairly fast so a aspirator or a berlese funnel can be use to collect them.

The globular springtails that tinusbum has the pleasure of photographing appear to be feeding on fungi and do not move as much as many species He is truly an macro artist.
