***Friesea grisea*** is a species of [springtail](/source/Springtail) in the genus *[Friesea](/source/Friesea)*, native to [South Georgia](/source/South_Georgia), [Antarctica](/source/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]
