Springtail

Description:

I think this Springtail belongs to the Entomobryomorpha order. It's about 3mm long and elongated in a cylindrical shape; colour is pale with dark markings and tufts of bristles. Springtails, although hexapods, are not insects, as they followed a different evolutionary line. Their name comes from a tail-like appendage which remains folded under the body, and that can be released when the animal feels threatened, flicking in into the air.

Habitat:

They prefer moist environments. This particular one was hanging out in my bathroom sink.
