rsp<p>You and your fellow springtails are peacefully feeding on organic debris next to a stream when suddenly a dark shape rapidly approaches from beneath a leaf. It's a predatory, semi-aquatic rove beetle of the genus Stenus whose appearance causes the springtails to release their furculas, leaping in random directions to escape.
