"In virtually every piece of land on Earth – from near the summit of Mount
Everest to Antarctica to caves nearly 2,000 metres underground – live tiny
critters that have shaped the health of our planet for hundreds of millions of
years.
They are known as springtails – an ancient group of invertebrates that evolved
along with mosses and lichens dating back to more than 400 million years ago.
By taking a trip into their magical world, you will emerge from the forest with
a newfound appreciation of the tiny and easily overlooked wonders that live
with us."
