Soil animals

Japanese: 土壌動物 - どじょうどうぶつ(英語表記)soil animals
Soil animals
Animals that live in fallen leaves and soil. When soil microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) are included, they are called soil organisms.
[kinds]
The most well-known soil animals are probably moles, earthworms, and ants. In addition, there are spiders, millipedes, centipedes, woodlouse, pillbugs, mole crickets, earwigs, ground beetles, and pipefish. These can be seen with the naked eye, so they are called large soil animals. However, there are also many other small animals that are hard to see, such as mites, crab bugs, spiders, springtails, proboscis beetles, staphylococci, earthworms, and nematodes (roundworms), which are called small soil animals.
