Bylas Ant Springtails (Pseudosinella violenta) – Fast, ant-sized springtails for dry bioactive setups and detritus control.

Built for the dry, the dusty, and the delicate, Pseudosinella violenta, also known as the Bylas Ant Springtail, is a desert-adapted microfauna ally with unique potential for bioactive systems often overlooked by mainstream cleanup crews. This rare, pale-bodied springtail species hails from the Bylas region of southern Arizona, where it lives in arid microhabitats alongside ants and other specialized invertebrates. Unlike the standard springtails of the tropics, P. violenta is designed to withstand dry spells, low humidity, and unstable moisture cycles, making it an ideal fit for enclosures that mimic scrubland, desert, or semi-arid forest ecosystems. Its small size, cryptic behavior, and surprising drought tolerance make the Bylas Ant Springtail a game-changing addition to low-humidity vivariums, succulent terrariums, arid isopod bins, or any setup where traditional species like Folsomia candida simply wouldn’t last. Why Choose Bylas Ant Springtails? Exceptional for arid and semi-ari
