Springtail

Springtails (Collembola) are  six-legged arthropods. They used to be thought of as proto-insects,  but now they are not regarded as insects. They do not have wings.Gillott, Cedric 2005. Apterygote hexapods. In Entomology. 3rd ed, Berlin: Springer, pp. 113–125. ISBN 978-0-306-44967-3

They live in the soil, and eat fungal hyphae, spores, pollen and other organic material. They need moist soils, and have been known to damage crops.
