Moved from Springtails and allies. Thanks for the ID Frans! It's a new one for me. And thanks Emile - these tiny things fascinate me. Especially the semiaquatic ones. Spending a lot of time in aquatic/wetland habitats lately and it seems like there's always something interesting crawling about on the water surface.
