Neanuridae
Given you tested that the specimen did not jump even being poked, Hypogastruridae has to be excluded.

Since the specimen that I tested was Isotomidae
I will try again. I've moved this out of Neanuridae until I find one of these particular specimens again.

Thanks!
It finally got a little moist this weekend so the Springtails made an appearance.
