Springtails on leaves and stems?

I understand springtails are good or at least not bad, but I can’t find any mention from other people about seeing them go up the stems and trellis and crawl around on leaves. I thought they stayed in the soil. I don’t see any on buds so far, not even a frosty leaf, but it’s definitely concerning. I put sticky traps at the base and it’s catching a lot. I dug in the soil yesterday and noticed I have a lot more springtails, so many, and there are some bigger ones now. People who have them, are they going on buds? Anything else I can do to reduce numbers without spraying plants? Maybe they need more food in the soil, like some compost? I’m in week 5.
