This is an immature specimen,
This is an immature specimen, so it cannot be easily identified. With a good close up of its face (particularly the lateral ocelli, which are just below the compound eyes) and the bases of the antennae with enough detail to discern whether or not the antennal bases are scaled may be sufficient for family-level and possibly genus-level identifications.

Species?
Is there anyone around here who can identify bristletails to at least genus level? :C
I'm noticing this to be a common trend through almost all my resources.
