A flea is often what a springtail is compared to when speaking of physical appearance. The insects in question have chewing mouthparts for biting into ground-proximitous leaves of beets, chards, onions, and peas. They look like dark purple, tiny, wingless insects with tail-like appendages for hurtling through the air and yellow spots.

A springtail is a small, wingless insect that typically measures 1-4 mm in length. They are usually dark brown or black in color and have a unique ability to jump using a forked structure located underneath their abdomen. Springtails are commonly found in damp environments like soil, leaf litter, and decaying matter.
