This beautiful species is easy to culture and beginner friendly for anybody looking to get into keeping pet springtails. Sold elsewhere as "Purple Springtails"or “Purple Podura” but we choose to reserve the name “purple” for when an even more purple species enters the hobby. This species produces albinism frequently in culture and Springtails US has isolated the morph.
