Here's a little input on snow fleas... A few insects are true denizens of winter. Snow fleas assemble at the base of a tree where warmth creates melt-water on a sunny day. Hordes of these tiny primitive springtails may blacken sunken patches of snow, such as footprints and tire tracks. How do they survive and what do they eat? Their active metabolism (also that of many winter and high-altitude insects) is due to a natural antifreeze. Micro-algae and decaying plant material constitute their staple food. One kind of snow flea eats smaller springtails, but when the sap rises late in winter, most species congregate near outbreaks of the sweet flow. © Microscopy UK or their contributors.
