Beach arthropod - Anurida maritima

Size: ~5mm
Lots of these found under rocks at the shore at Matheson Hammock. Looks like a nymph form of something to me, but not exactly aquatic.

Order Entomobryomorpha - Elongate-bodied Springtails

Note
In dorsal aspect, count the number of body segments.
If 9, as in this specimen, order = Poduromorpha.
If less than 9, order = Entomobryomorpha.
Both orders are elongate-bodied Collembola.
