Something in...
...Bristletails (Microcoryphia) but you will have to wait on one of the experts to get any better than that.

Trigoniophthalmus alternatus?
I think it is Trigoniophthalmus alternatus because the antennal flagellum does appear to be scaled (although it is hard to be certain from this image) and the scale pattern on the body matches other examples of this species.
