Not Podura
The antennae are wrong, podurans have longer antennae with multiple segments, plus there is a distinct head capsule in this specimen. Springtails don't have that, their head is more the same width of the prothorax and in line with other body segments.

I agree this is Coleoptera.

springtail
Collembola, hexapod relative of insects. Does not change into anything else - just gets bigger!
