Willowsia buski, the damp grain springtail, is a species of slender springtail in the family Entomobryidae. It is found in abundance throughout North America and Europe, and likely has a cosmopolitan distribution.[1][2][3] It can sometimes be found infesting stores of dry goods (like grain) that have become contaminated with high moisture, giving rise to the name "damp grain springtail".
