Many insects such as butterflies, moths, and even beetles sometimes have eyespots. At the right is a picture of an IO moth with eyespots on its hind wings. Polly-themus did a great job researching the answer to this one. Some entomologist believe that they are not insects. The reason they have the name springtail it when something like a hair will touch them they get on there tail and spring into the air.

Leaflittler is the build-up of leaves and other organic matter that builds up on the ground under in wooded areas and other places.
