Hypogastrura nivicola

CONT

Les puces des neiges ne sont ni des puces ni des insectes. En fait, ce sont des collemboles, de petits arthropodes, proches cousins des insectes. Ils appartiennent à l'espèce Hypogastrura nivicola. On les nomme communément collemboles nivicoles.

OBS

puce des neiges : L'espèce Hypogastrura nivicola n’ est pas une puce(ordre des siphonaptères), mais plutôt un collembole(ordre des collemboles). Afin d’éviter toute équivoque, il vaut mieux éviter de la nommer ainsi.
