“Blue podura”

“Blue podura”
Massachusetts, USA
April 23, 2021
I have permission to post these images from someone who bought these springtails marketed as “blue podura”. Very curious as to what they actually are. Any sort of ID will alleviate the curiosity a bit ;) Supposedly originally collected in MA so that is where I set location

They are indeed originally from MA, confirmed by seller via email.

Entomobryomorpha
Possibly Isotomidae. Definitely not Podura.

I added another image
from the seller, somewhat higher quality if it can take ID further. They game me permission via email, they are interested in finding the correct ID
