Can anyone give this insect a name?

    Howdy do folks,


    Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong place. Was fully sure there was an 'Insect ID' mega-thread of sorts, but can't seem to find it, and my searches keep bringing me to this forum.




    Found this little chappy at my back door today (not an innuendo) making his way inside. He was tiny (thought it was a small ant at first), but i had a good look at him, as I don't recognise him. We get the odd woodlice wandering around, had issues in the past with silverfish, have seen my fair share of spiders, centipedes etc over the years but for some reason this fella doesn't seem like a regular in my house or garden.


    Anyone able to ID him?


    Here's a pic (quite big, so decided to link to it)

    Cheers folks.

    Tried that, but he didn't acknowledge me :( He's not a Tim either.

    Looks a bit like a tiny devil's coach horse. Maybe a juvenile?

    It looks like a Springtail.
