I found this little bug in my woodlice tank. It's possible they came with the woodlice and I haven't seen any in the snail tank but it's possible they'll make their way in there so I wanted to identify them. I know this is a really rubbish photo but it's the best I could get. There seems to be both what I assume are adults (pictured) and younger little yellow ones too. The seller I bought the woodlice from also sells springtails so it's maybe possible some got mixed up in with the woodlice maybe? I've never seen a springtail before though. Anyone know if that's maybe what this is? Sorry again for the rubbish photo. Little thing was fast and didn't stay still for long.  |

Can it fly or does it just crawl?

Definitely not a springtail, they're whitish and smaller, and often jump a couple cm when you put a finger near (some can't be bothered though). Other than that I don't know, sorry.  |

It can't fly. It just ran about. There was a moment I thought it jumped but I might be wrong.
I thought it might be a springtail because I seen photos of springtails that were dark like it. Hrm. This identification thing just got a whole lot harder. LOL.

It looks very familiar but I don't know what it's called.
