Snow fleas aid forests say Vermont agency
The Vermont Forests and Parks Department reports snow fleas or springtails help soils by breaking down rotting leaves and wood. They gather on snow and sap buckets in March, are nuisance indoors, and hatch in numbers from eggs laid in dead leaves. They awaken with early spring sun, become active, then freeze at night.
