I did some more searching but have no idea where the original post is describing the setup I made from it. I think it mentioned something about glass to harvest them, but have no idea.I went ahead and lightly flooded the shoe box, when it is at a incline. Then I used a eyedropper to suck up the springtails and simply used it to "spray" the springtails into my nymph cups through the feeder holes. It worked much better than I would have expected - I kept thinking the dirt mix would get in the way but no problem. i feel silly for not trying it sooner, but I didn't want to hurt the culture.I was able to add a small culture to all my nymph cups (nearly 50) from the shoe box culture itself, and then added some to the deli cup too. Seems there are plenty left to spare, enough to do it all again, looking at what is left. I have another plastic shoe box I have been waiting to see how to harvest them before making a new culture with it, so I will make a new one too.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
