Moved from Slender Springtails.
Thanks. This specimen was unfortunately alone; I found it on a leaf I had placed in a vial several days earlier.

Entomobryidae
Scaled specimen. Could be Seirinae, Willowsiinae or Lepidocyrtinae.
More pictures, please.

Unfortunately my other shots of this specimen look pretty similar. What details would you need to see?

Lepidocyrtus sp.
I was hoping you had some shots of other specimens of the same population.
If not: given the relatively short antennae and legs, my educated guess is Lepidocyrtinae: Lepidocyrtus sp.
