Do Springtail Bugs Bite?
No, springtails do not bite humans or animals. Springtails are harmless tiny creatures you may find jumping or scurrying around your home. Their size and behavior can often cause them to be confused with biting fleas. While they don’t bite people or pets, their presence alone can be annoying!
Springtails do jump
Springtails jump and this ability to ‘spring’ into the air not only is how they got their name but gets them confused with fleas. This confusion might have also added to the idea that they bite humans which they do not. Instead of using their back legs, these creatures propel themselves through the air on a forked tail-like structure called furcula attached to the abdomen.
Do springtail bugs bite? No, but they do jump.
Why are Springtails in my home?
