Captive bred/ origin uncertain

Size: 2-3mm
I culture this springtail for my dart frogs and was curious what it actually is. It's commonly labeled as tropical pink springtail.

Entomobryidae
Could be Pseudosinella sp. but this is just a wild guess...

No collection data
These are cultured in captivity for feeding captive dart frogs so I don't have any collection data for them. I can put my location, but I thought that may be confusing as I don't know if they occur naturally here.

okay, got it, sorry
putting something like "captive bred, origin uncertain" into the City field would be a good idea
