This is the extraordinary moment hundreds of tiny eggs leap from the ground after a woman pokes them with her finger. Footage shows the woman pushing down on what appears to be black sand only for it to move and show tiny little insects. The bugs, known as springtails, are found in many backyards across Australia. The woman who shot the video was confused by the discovery and posted it to Facebook for more information. It is not the first time springtails have gained attention on social media after a video in 2018 showed the tiny mass of bugs crawling across a driveway.
