Ant Lab | The Extremely Fast Animals in Your Yard - Springtails @AntLab | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Collembola (commonly called springtails) are the smallest, fastest, and most common arthropods living in the soil, right in your backyard. I've been working on describing there super-fast jumps, filming them up-close and in ultra slow motion!
The elongate-bodied/slender springtail (family: Entomobryidae) in the beginning and throughout the video is (probably) in the genus Homidia. The globular springtail (family: Dicyrtomidae) is (probably) in the genus Dicyrtomina. But, the specimens need to be evaluated by a taxonomic expert for an accurate species ID.
Thanks to vision research for letting me demo this camera: phantomhighspeed.com/products/cameras/tmx/7510
