Spingtail (Collembola), strictly speaking not an insect but yet a hexapod.

Hi!
Entomobrya cf. nivalis
(I think, there is still much discussion, whether Collembola should be placed in- or outside Insecta.)

Collembola are widely regarded as an Order inside Entognatha, a class placed near to insects. Newer classifications regard Collembola a separate Class, placed near Insecta :)
