Technically they are crustaceans, but they are most closely related to insects rather than things like woodlice (insects are also technically crustaceans 🤯). Like insects, springtails are hexapods, which means they have six legs.

Never knew that insects at large were crustaceans- thought it was a fun fact I knew about woodlice! Thanks for that. Favourite occupation of our kids and now grandkids, was lifting stones to count slaters, as we call them
