Ant Lab's video: Springtail s Secret Trick For Jumping On Water

@Springtail's Secret Trick For Jumping On Water
New research found that semi-aquatic springtails use their ventral tube or collophore to hold a droplet of water during their spring-loaded jumps. This droplet aids in their mid-air positioning and landing, sticking them back to the water surface.
