Friesea grisea is a species of springtail in the genus Friesea , native to South Georgia, Antarctica. [2]

It was originally thought to be a "pan-Antarctic" species however this was later disproven as three distinct species were recognized (Friesea antarctica, Friesea gretae, Friesea propria). [3] [4]
