The snow flea, which is actually a species of springtail, can catapult themselves in a random direction much like a jumping flea by releasing two tail-like “spring” projections. Although active all year long, snow fleas produce an anti-freeze protein which allows them to operate at sub-zero environments in January through March. They may be seen on the snow hopping over the surface particularly under small trees. Some Club members have observed an amazing similarity between these insects and themselves … but it is not a criteria for joining our Club!
