Springtails are found on all seven continents, in moist places with leaf litter or soil (a few species have adapted to deserts, others to forest canopies, and still others prefer caves). They probably evolved in cooler climes, which explains their fondness for spring and fall, and they will migrate to damper microhabitats if theirs loses humidity.https://uwm.edu/field-station/wp-content/uploads/sites/380/2016/07/springtails16-6rz.jpg700500
