Hi Pestlist, I was hoping to get confirmation as to whether or not this is a springtail? Most springtails we find here are much darker in coloration...usually dark gray. It was initially assumed this was a book louse, but looking at the underside (image labeled "Lindbergh Pest 2")...I believe it's forked tail is visible. It measures 2.5 mm (not including antennae).
