I conducted an experiment in catching your own springtails as I had been asked by many people about where to get them from - not everyone can acquire them online it seems!

Please, note: This trick doesn't work for everyone and will depend on your climate and location. The can also be performed with any bits of wood or bark you find in woodlands or forests, just make sure the area is damp or humid (not a problem for the UK...rain is something we have a lot of)

If you're daft enough to support a free channel then go for it by buying me a tea, preferably Earl Grey; https://www.buymeacoffee.com/themanti...

If you're interested in purchasing a mantis or other inverts or have questions then you can find me on Discord - TheMantisGarden#9677 or Instagram - themantis_garden, or drop me an email (this can be found in the about section on my channel page) Thanks for watching :)
