Indeed, they are springtails.

Hi Sarah,
Probably need a second opinion to confirm but I believe these are springtails,
Collembola. Extremely abundant hexapods that live in soil and pose no real
threat but do thrive in damp areas.

Hello All,
Just wondered if anyone can help me identify these insects. I have found 5 in a
space with some localised high humidity. They are around 3-5mm in length and
appears to be nymph or pupa located next to them. A green/gold appearance with
distinctive hair on the back. I’m based in the UK.
Many Thanks
Sarah
