Shot this deep in the woods so it was dark hence the flash. It is about
2-2.5 mm long and it looked black untill I put it on the computer.
Posting a large pic to make it easy to see.

Thanks for the ID Alby. None of my books have spring tails in them so more books to get.

Thanks RM for ID. Cheers.
EDIT> Have now found a name for it.....Globular Springtail - Sminthurus bivittatus
