Snow Bugs

We got an early snow storm this year int he Northeast and it got me thinking about snow bugs. Is there such a thing? I looked around and it looks as if there is a snow flea that you can see hopping about on melting snow. These "snow bugs" are not really true flea, but a member of the spring tail family. Although I have never been called out in the past to exterminate snow fleas, I thought it would be interested to see if there were any bugs out there that might cause an Eskimo to pick up the phone.

The East coast has really been tackled by pre-Winter snow already. I have heard of snow bugs before, but I didn't know anything about them. We don't have this sort of challenge here in the South. Thank you for sharing.
