Yuukianura aphoruroides - Orange Springtails - Count: 20 (Live Culture)

🚚 LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY

Yuukianura aphoruroides, commonly known as Orange Springtails, are a vibrant, surface-active springtail prized for their bold orange coloration and unique behavior. Unlike many white springtails that remain hidden in the substrate, Orange Springtails are often visible as they forage—making them an excellent choice for display bioactive enclosures.

While still contributing to mold and waste breakdown, this species truly shines as a visual cleanup crew, adding movement and color to humid terrariums and vivariums.

This setup allows the culture to remain active, stable, and productive upon arrival and can be used as a temporary enclosure to grow and expand the colony before seeding your habitat.
