there are mostly mites in Antarctica, and there are insects in Antarctica but they are all extremely small. Only 675 species have been recorded in Antarctica, but most are less than 2mm long. Most of them are a parasites, like lice that live in feather and fur, or birds and seals, where they are protected from the harsh climate for much of a time. Collemola (springtails) are the only free-living insects. They feedon algae and fungi, and remain dormant in winter.
