    What the heck are these!?



    Sorry for the poor quality pics, but I started cleaning this chunk of wood which had previously been used in a terrarium and these little white bugs popped up ALL over the place :/ Any ideas on what they are?

    Those look like springtails or some sort of other harmless bug.

    I used to feed these to my dart frogs.

    I do believe they float in water, so that would be a way of getting them off the wood.

    Could be dwarf white isopods based on the quality of pic and the size. They look bigger than spring tails. They are cage cleaners for vivariums too

    Thanks guys. I wish I would've saved them. I may or may not have drowned them all... Oops
