Some kind of springtail I'm guessing?

:) Still learning with my new high-mag setup (full set kenko-tubes, 100mm, reversed 50mm f/1.4). Yeesh, this is going to take lots of experimenting with, ridiculously small DOF and crazy small working distance. It is pretty awesome to be able to see that all these little tiny specks moving around have legs though. :D

I have photographed something very similar, not a Springtail but don't know what it is. Maybe 1st instar Pauropoda or Diplopoda - the number of legs increases with each molt.
