Springtail
Springtails (
Collembola) form the largest of the three lineages of modern
hexapods that are no longer considered
insects (the other two are the
Protura and
Diplura). Although the three orders are sometimes grouped together in a class called
Entognatha because they have internal
mouthparts, they do not appear to be any more closely related to one another than they all are to insects, which have external mouthparts.
springtail
Noun
1. any of numerous minute wingless primitive insects possessing a special abdominal appendage that allows the characteristic nearly perpetual springing pattern; found in soil rich in organic debris or on the surface of snow or water
(synonym) collembolan

Springtail
(n.)
Any one of numerous species of small apterous insects belonging to the order Thysanura. They have two elastic caudal stylets which can be bent under the abdomen and then suddenly extended like a spring, thus enabling them to leap to a considerable distance. See Collembola, and Podura.
