  1. A tiny wingless arthropod that jumps using a forked abdominal spring.

Word origin

From spring + tail.

Used in a sentence

  • Among the wonders of the natural world that few people have ever noticed: a semiaquatic springtail in motion.
  • Springtails, or collembolans, are strictly not insects because of technicalities to do with the position of their mouthparts, but they are the closest cousins of insects.
