Campodea
Genus of two-pronged bristletails
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campodea is a genus of small, white, bristle-tailed arthropods in the order Diplura. The best known species, Campodea staphylinus, has a wide distribution across much of Europe. It lives in damp places under stones, fallen trees, or in rotten wood and leaves. Although blind, it immediately crawls away on exposure to the light into the nearest crevice or other sheltered spot, feeling the way with its antennae.[2] There are at least 130 described species in Campodea.[3][4][5]
