Red Thai springtails (often referred to as *Folsomia candida* or other species from the *Collembola* order) are small, soil-dwelling insects commonly found in tropical regions, particularly in Southeast Asia. They are known for their vibrant red coloration, which distinguishes them from other springtail species that are typically white or translucent. These tiny arthropods typically measure between 1 to 3 millimeters in length. Springtails like the Red Thai species play an essential role in the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter, such as decaying plant material, fungi, and bacteria. This decomposition process helps in recycling nutrients and promoting soil health. Red Thai springtails are often found in moist environments, including leaf litter, rotting wood, and damp soil.
